Chong grew wealthy glamorizing drug use and trivializing law enforcement in his films

"The only way to make them bleed,is to bust their ass and take their weed"

[WackyKat]

How shameful, and what a waste of federal law enforcement resources

[ambrose]

FREE TOMMY CHONG!

[Lexington Green]

Tommy Chong sold a bong
A twisted piece of plastic
Then zealous Feds with little heads
Made sure Tommy got his ass kicked

Soon Rush will go where Tommy's gone
And maybe Willy Nelson
Then the Ashcroft man will come for you
When cancer rots your balls off

Hilarious! Chong had started a company to sell a product called "Urineluck" supposedly effective as a drug screener. It was alleged that a person could take a drug test right after using Urineluck to assure that they would pass the test even if they were a pothead who just had a smoke. The funny thing was, the product didn't work and those that took the standard drug tests failed in spite of the product maker's claims.

Oh crap! Now who are the Libertarians going to run for presidunce in 2004? They were counting on his garnering that critical 0.0025% of the vote!

Damn! I'm going to go watch some porn and shoot up some heroin while advocating for child prostitution and wide open borders.

DAVE'S NOT HERE...

At his sentencing, Chong said he ... had quit smoking pot and wanted to use his celebrity to help people stay off drugs.

Riiiiight. Selling bongs is REALLY a great way to help people stay off drugs.

Hope Chong enjoys his 9 months on the taxpayer's dime playing polo and taking those underwater basket-weaving classes at Club Fed.

We had to start taking drug tests at my last job, and a representative from the hospital came in to explain everything to us. He said don't bother using drug-masking products like "Urineluck" because they counted as a positive, i.e. if you're pissin' Urineluck then you may as well be pissin' cocaine.

Chong, 65, Ewwwww...when I was a kid, I was laughing at comedy from a guy who was only two years younger than MY MOTHER? God, how uncool... *grin*

[COURAGE]

I do, no more of his movies will be coming out for awhile.

Now I'll give you that was a stupid remark to say he wanted people to get off drugs... but how do you feel knowing they probably pushed a murderer, child molester, armed robber, rapist right out the door from overcrowding to make room for a guy selling empty plastic bottles?

And who cares who smokes pot anyway?

"At his sentencing, Chong said he got carried away with the fictional persona, but had quit smoking pot and wanted to use his celebrity to help people stay off drugs."

Did he really say that? What a sell-out. Tommy, guess what? No matter what you say now you are still going to jail.

Murderers, child molesters, armed robbers, etc. don't go to Club Fed like Chong did.

And who cares who smokes pot anyway?

Uh, that would be me. I have this silly, antiquated notion that people should obey the law and work within the system to change it if they feel they can't.

"I have this silly, antiquated notion that people should obey the law and work within the system to change it if they feel they can't."

Fat people really have me irritated. I think I'll work within the system to push obesity laws and have overweight people thrown in jail, or the fat farm.

[Ramius]

Tommy Chong is 65???

Geez... I feel old all of a sudden...

[Stew Padasso]

And he is in great shape for his age.

[Hildy]

The most ridiculous thing I've heard. I'm going to make up FREE TOMMY CHONG T-shirts. This is outrageous.
