Aka Tommy Chong

Should a man go to prison just for helping another person smoke his or her weed in style? You betcha, said the U.S. government, when it dispatched a fully armed SWAT team to send Tommy Chong's bong-selling business up in smoke! Ensnared as part of a 2003 sting operation conducted under the umbrella of the "war on drugs," Chong (of Cheech & Chong) landed in prison for nine months. This documentary tells the "Pope of Pot's" wild story. 80 min. Soundtrack: English; featurettes.
