"The film's producers say the federal government spent $12 million pursuing Chong and compare that to the $25 million bounty for the capture of
Osama bin Laden." oOo:

Chong owns.

[quote:9cb1b]...heavy-handed dealing with marijuana offenders in the post-September 11 era.

The documentary suggests the government's motive was not to rid the Internet of a mail-order pipe-and-bong business but to send a message about Chong's three decades of movies and stand-up routines celebrating marijuana use.[/quote:9cb1b]


...lol. I don't see how a nine month jail term in a minimum security prison is being heavy-handed or attempting to collapse an already decaying 40 year old career. Must be paranoid?

From what I'm reading, this documentary is about Chong and the people that hurt his celebrity feelings. Apparently he's ignoring the thousands of people in REAL jail through marijuana with buillshit terms from decades ago and the present time.

didnt your government send him to jail for selling bongs? biggrin:
crazy Americans

I agree that the original charge is questionable and alittle on the suspicous side. Apparently his whole business was raided though. The fact he sold to a federal agent provoked the raid ( I think ). Chong said after his term, at the risk of his son being prosecuted ( since he owns part of the company ) he plead guilty. But I'm pretty sure his lawyers just assumed that would happen.

That's what I gathered from the few articles I read.

i saw this guy at local comedy club a few years back and must say he was less than entertaining ... cheech and chong routines stopped being funny at least 20 years ago.

I didn't know bongs were a big issue in the states...I bought a new bong from Smoke Signals a couple months ago and I walked home with it in my hand.

you can buy them at head shops ( at least here ) , but i dunno what the rules are about boarders and interweb etc.
