LOVE THIS!!! Drug's ruined my life and I only had a short stop of alcohol then got high. I was already caught up in a drug group and that was my entry to the rave scene. I remember the first time I heard cheech and chong, went over to my first lasting friends house across the way and he had some old records and we were in love! Jbornick....... huhh...... good thing we no step in it. Years later that friend overdosed me on LSD because he Thought that I had slept with his long time on and off again GF. Anyways, despite the years spent in solitude because of malice it has NOTHING to do with pot, perhaps not even LSD. It was a mix of pre-existing conditions and enough lsd to swallow. That friend was murdered a few month's ago and even though he stole 20 years of my life, I told my counselor month's before he got shot, that I still loved him like a brother. I'm not sure what my point is, my brother that I never got to sit down with and have a reconciliation, introduced me to something glorious, something that I still love today. Even though I can't touch pot as I'm schizophrenic....... I believe in it being legal for people of age.

"No."

How is that not illegal or a violation of rights?
That's very illegal. He had a dumbass lawyer
Was just thinking the same thing...if it's not illegal then your laws are fucked. A company refused to commit a crime so law enforcement went in and committed it .... fucked
It’s entrapment at the least. Prosecutors should have refused to prosecute him. They were selling bongs in every gas station at the time. No weed is slowly becoming legalized everywhere. I knew that shit who do happen after I quit smoking 10 years ago.
@@tricky2055 agreed. The police was the one who shipped the bongs, after I'm sure that "employee" was told not too

I love all the "fake story" comments when him being arrested for his bong company is literally a famous case and it's all documented

🤦♂️
"Chong served his sentence at the Taft Correctional Institution from October 8, 2003 to July 7, 2004. He was a cellmate-or "cubie"-with "The Wolf of Wall Street" Jordan Belfort, and is given credit for encouraging Belfort to write his memoirs. "
Damn som
What a waste of our tax money.
I don't understand how people don't know that... love Tommy
They had an undercover infiltrate the company and send the bongs? How is that not entrapment or beyond?
Its nuts how much time the dea wasted fucking with this man
Because some law enforcement believe you can get away with entrapment when you lose some evidence and have good representation.
Oh it is. But Chong is famous, and the govt has a long history of trying to pin celebrities on various things simply to make an example out of them. We probably would've heard more about it had it not happened at the same time as 9/11.
Somehow it's not entrapment when the government does it.
Its not entrapment that would require you to commit a crime
I am not proud to say that I was on the wrong end of this same dea sting. The same Pittsburgh based dea unit that came after him was the same one that busted my boss for being part of the same " illegal paraphernalia ring". I worked at a head shop. We sold glass. That was enough to send my boss to prison and boot me from a good job. Telaropa, 2003. It's a crazy story...and every word he's saying is true
There are too many in America who worship those in authority, & who refuse to believe the truth.
I have experienced this same kind of law enforcement, more times than I can count.

I swear Tommy chong is my Greatest Old school and new school comedian ever, he is timeless! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I met Chong while working in a head shop in 2000. He told us the story behind the "Dave's not here," skit. Cheech was going on script when Chong started ad libbing that part. Absolutely pissed Cheech off, hence why it looks like he gets so mad. It worked so well they put it in the movie.
And Tommy really talks like that in real life.
I've met Tommy too & you're right.
Idk how he makes one of the most infuriating stories somehow funny as shit.
That's one of the most positive dudes, he's so positive you can feel the energy even through the screen.
I met him once, in a strip club. He was my organ donor witness on my driver's license!
what the fuck does this even mean are you having a stroke?
ALLIWANNADOISCOMMENT I’m wondering the same thing 😂😂
In some states, like Arizona for example you can sign up to be an organ donor wherever as long as they have the paperwork but someone has to also sign that they saw you sign up for it. As a witness. I signed up at a stand on campus that they had set up. This is just my best assumption though, but I'm pretty sure that's how it worked.
@@ALLIWANNADOISCOMMENT lmao Fr
CJ R You're right. Sometimes in legally binding contracts they need a witness so they have somebody to subpoena if the singer says they signed it against their will or whatever.

Right on man right on! 😁👍❤
So the company was following the law until the dea snuck in to the company and broke the law themselves?
Not to mention a bong only becomes paraphernalia after an illegal substance is used in it.
It depends. The judge can say "It's a bong, so it was originally designed, made, sold, and possibly bought with the intention of smoking pot with it, and therefore it's drug related even if it's never been used (yet)."
I find it a little weird myself because you could always buy rolling papers at corner stores and gas stations, commonly sold as "cigarette papers", even though most people that bought them used them for rolling joints instead of tobacco cigarettes. It's simply because the company printed "cigarette papers" on the pack, implying that they were intended for tobacco and not cannabis, so they weren't considered paraphernalia for illegal drug use.
Tommy Chong could have simply marketed his bongs as Tobacco Water Pipes or something like that, that way he wouldn't have had to worry about it. Once you have it, it's up to you what you smoke in it--but the legal liability doesn't fall on the Chong Bong Company, just like for companies like Zig Zag etc. that sell rolling papers.
@@devilsoffspring5519 Its because its a case of them not actually caring about right or wrong but using and purposely twisting laws to use as weapons to control people and gain more power. The weed laws targeted African american communities, how when the law is blind. Well because the people who enforce them are not blind and selectively enforce them or up the charges to threaten and try to get a guilty plea on lesser charges regardless of guilt. That's just the sad truth, in the land of the free they think its right to tell you how to act. They should see themselves as peace officers striving for peace but they see themselves as police officers trying to police peoples actions past the safety of the people and public. That's not freedom, there is a reason people get scared when they see a cop instead of safe. Its because they hunt. I'm even incredibly nervous if i feel like i need them. Calling 911 is such a last resort to me that id prob call to late if i wasn't safe.
@@kyleclancy4040 Been there, done that. I've learned you're much better dealing with certain bullshit yourself (probably illegally) than you are going to the cops.
Just how it is. If you want to minimize bullshit in life, minimize your contact with authority whenever possible, i.e. don't be defenseless if you can avoid it in your country.
The company was following the law but Chong wasn't. And you're wrong about when something can be considered paraphernalia.

It's called 'entrapment'.
It gets worse
In a Plea bargain, Chong agreed to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute drug paraphernalia in exchange for non-prosecution of his wife, Shelby, and his son, Paris. Federal Prosecution admitted to being harsher on Chong in retaliation, citing Chong's movies as trivializing "law enforcement efforts to combat drug trafficking and use."[3]
The estimated cost of Operation Pipe Dreams was over $12 million and included the resources of 2,000 law enforcement officers.

No, his problems as a divorced dad, legal issues, having his family turn on him, how much his daughter has helped him get through health problems, etc.
The US government is no ‘angel’. No government is. But we ARE making changes when it comes to marijuana and paraphernalia. Blaming the government for EVERYTHING is just an example of not taking responsibility for your own actions. Sometimes, it’s YOU that fucks up, but you don’t like the way it went down so it’s the cops/government/rich people/anyone else’s fault(s). And I saying ‘you’ not as in you personally (unless you are one of those I mentioned), but as a broad term.
I have never been arrested, have never had any direct issues with a PD, never been rich (but did work for a multimillionaire for almost 12 years), and take accountability for my own actions and stupidity. I’m nearly 40.
