I got the chance to sit down with cannabis legend Tommy Chong at the International Cannabis Business Conference in San Francisco. Chong, 77, is parlaying his cannabis celebrity into a new brand, Chong's Choice, as well as co-hosting a podcast with his son, Paris, to be hosted on CannabisRadio.com.
I asked Tommy about the state of marijuana and politics, beginning with the Republicans. "I love Donald Trump," Chong told me, "he personifies everything the Republican Party is about." When asked about the unexpectedly exciting battle between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders on the Democratic side, Chong replied, "We've only got Bernie." We also discussed the upcoming battle to legalize marijuana in California, with Chong lending his support to any form of legalization that makes the ballot.
Enjoy this first portion of our twenty-minute interview with Tommy Chong - we'll have more parts uploaded shortly.

Potheads for Trump
Just so everyone knows the rules:
When a person (you might not like) says anything complementary of Trump, you are to take it as PROOF that his is (insert negative here).
I guess any source is fair game these days.
Tommy Chong is a very successful capitalist.
As if the Trumpets wouldn’t “go there” if the situation were reversed?
A little levity to lighten things up around here from ‘Up In Smoke’:

I don’t give this any more weight than I give
Cruz teaming up with Beck.
Well except Cruz did it with intention, Trump didn’t with Chong.
Seriously, isn’t it time we knock this crap off and start focusing on the real enemy?
“Just so everyone knows the rules: When a person (you might not like) says anything complementary of Trump, you are to take it as PROOF that his is (insert negative here).”
In that case, Lord help us if Kim Jong-un, Sinead O’Connoor, Barbara Streisand, or Michael Moore endorses Trump.
Dude, you’re scraping the bottom of the barrel. Well, maybe not QUITE the bottom: I haven’t seen you post something negative about Trump from Nuevo Pravda, aka, RT.com yet.
“In that case, Lord help us if Kim Jong-un, Sinead OâConnoor, Barbara Streisand, or Michael Moore endorses Trump.”
They are cheering for him, trust me.
He had a great slogan: "I went to federal prison for 9 months for making glass, maaan." OK, glass bongs, but, still, for making glass.
Gosh.....Tommy Chong is 77 years old.
It seems like just yesterday he was only 90.
Libertarians for Cruz = Potheads from Cruz
Dang it, you spoiled the surprise, that was to be the next post!
Like wow, dude. EPIC.
Re: “I love Donald Trump,” Chong told me, “he personifies everything the Republican Party is about.”
Umm...Obviously he’s mocking GOP and Trump. To anyone but the most clueless, that last sentence is dripping with sarcasm. Per the later quote ‘We’ve only got Bernie.’ he’s got the Bern...lol
How is this negative?
“They are cheering for him, trust me.”
Trust you?
ROTFLOL!
