cheechandchong.com →You can smoke marijuana, you can eat it, you can wear it, it’s a perfect plant! The ultimate irreverent activist. Almost as famous for his lifetime of cannabis advocacy as he is for the string of genre defining comedy records and hit movies. Originally found in ancient China… (Tommy always said “Pot was in his blood”.) Historians say this early pot was too low in THC to get you high… We think historians underestimate how much free time people used to have… Anything’ll get you high if you smoke enough of it. They said pot was dangerous. That if you smoked just one joint, you’d end up going crazy and becoming a sex maniac (I mean… that part’s kinda true…) and you’d kill yourself. (Definitely NOT true.) Millions of people suffered so that this dickhead could corner the paper market. True Story. “My dad was a policeman, LAPD, 30 years, and I got that line growing up: ‘Marijuana, don’t you ever try marijuana or I’ll end your short little life right now!’ That first record, “Cheech and Chong”, showed the world the fun side of pot. The next record, “Big Bambu”, became the highest selling comedy record of all time. And kicked off a decade long string of hits like “Cheech & Chong’s Next Movie”, “Still Smokin’”, & “Nice Dreams”. Hemp-derived CBD and THC are finally available to (almost) everyone who needs them. Cheech & Chong's hemp-derived products contain legal hemp that complies with the 2018 Farm Bill and contains less than 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol by dry weight. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
