Decades ago comedy partners Richard “Cheech” Marin and Tommy Chong got audiences high on laughter with their stoner-inspired stand-ups, so it's no surprise that the pot-stirring duo are particularly buzzed these days about getting the drug legalized.
"It is going to be legalized, I’m going to be conservative here and say it will be legalized nationally in the next three years," Cheech assured Pop Tarts. "The writing is on the wall."
His counterpart is predicting four years for legalization to come into play across the entire USA and blames the "right wing media" and "propaganda" for making people fearful of the controversial cannabis plant.
"People are scared of legalizing it because the right-wing press demonizes anything like pot and the whole experience," Chong explained. "Pot helped me cure my prostate problems and helps people with cancer. It really is a medicine and has been for centuries, since the beginning of time. Our culture is finally now coming around to realize that."
Chong also believes that the Internet has played a prominent role in allowing people to Google and learn about the "positive" aspects of pot.

You were missing an important keyword. I fixed it.
That’s just silly. Harry Anslinger worked for FDR.
Where’s Sgt. Stadenko when we need him?
“It really is a medicine and has been for centuries, since the beginning of time”
So Cheech Marin is a “young-earther” — the beginning of time was mere centuries ago. Those dinosour bones were planted as a fake fossil record to separate Bible loving Christians from the Darwinist heathen. Nice to know Cheech is among the saved.
Or maybe Cheech is so stoned that he’s just lost track of time, and he’s talking about last Thursday.
New slogan:
Support America!! ...buy American Pot !
You think there’s a war on drugs now, just wait until pot is legal and taxable. Growing a little stash for your personal use.....not when it denies the gubmint their cut.

"why do you think they call it dope"
Psst. It ain't the "right wing" banning cigarettes, pipes, and cigars in bars, restaurants, homes, cars, etc...
Its already lega in CA if you know a quack. They have kids on “medical” pot in CA.
And just think of all that pot money going back to Mexico when baby needs new shoes here in America.
What’s a “Right Wing Media” ?
No. It makes to much money for city courts and "defense" lawyers who profit from prosecution.
Big Government already makes money from it. Pay offs. Seizures. Fines. Prosecution. Court costs.
Dave’s not here!
Cheech is flip flopping, isn’t he?
I mean, isn’t part of the WHOLE Cheech and Chong fall-out for YEARS over Tommy Chong’s continued encouragement of pot use?
Didn’t Cheech shy away from his drug past and associations with Chong?
I guess Nash Bridges didn’t pay enough.
I think Tommy Chong was born in Canada but don’t let that stop the public from getting started on a “Cheech and Chong 2012” political platform...
Legalize Ajax now!
“Cheech & Chong Blame ‘Right Wing’ for Turning People Against Legalization of Pot”
Well aren’t they looking just great these days...a perfect set of misfits. Keep telling and showing the world what pot smokers look like...lol.
Oh no the whole world is going to end....these guys need to grow up and get a grip.
