I half expected to see Cheech and Chong when he rolled down the window.

I've never seen a Cheech movie, so I'll trust your assessment.

That guy really is quite something, isn't he? Smart. Articulate. And a calmness to him that I find striking and unusual for a stand up comedian.

Oh, the internet. I never would have seen this guy otherwise.

No Cheech and Chong? At all? None?

Reminds me of this guy from the first Cheech n Chong flick in the waiting room at the welfare office making all the sounds....aural-realistic noises are the shit!

Some kids grow up mimicking bird calls, Saudi kids can imitate the sounds of emergency vehicles and large-caliber ordinance!!

I'm quite sure Cheech Marin is stoned here, brilliant.

Anyway, one thing i never forget to mention in a pro-pot scene. One of the most famous astronomers of our times (perhaps ever?), easily the most intelligent and articulate of the tv scientists, carl sagan smoked pot recreationally all the time!

and that's very true as well, gallow.
unfortunately, most people will not listen to someone they don't like.
no matter how accurate or compelling their arguments.
someone who's against pot is more likely to be swayed by Pat Robertson's recent startling admission. or by judges and cops who know the war on drugs is an unwinnable farce that only detracts from their ability to deal with actual crime.>> ^Gallowflak:
But Cheech and Chong? Come on. If the marijuana legalization movement is to be taken as seriously as we need it to be, we're going to need more articulate spokespeople. Preferably ones that don't so completely fit into the stereotype of the stoner.


Yeah, true enough. Damnit.

Eeeeeehh.

There's no question that it should be legalized. There has never been, as far as I know, any coherent argument for why I should be able to drink myself to death, or to the emergency room for a stomach pump, but not use any of the perfectly healthy, safe, non-addictive and therapeutic substances. The shrooms I'm growing, for instance

And even if there were, it still wouldn't be good enough to justify drug prohibition when the changes people wish to see in society - less drug use and abuse, less drug-related gang violence, less addiction - are clearly more likely to be achieved by legalization and an intelligent, compassionate approach to rehabilitation.

But Cheech and Chong? Come on. If the marijuana legalization movement is to be taken as seriously as we need it to be, we're going to need more articulate spokespeople. Preferably ones that don't so completely fit into the stereotype of the stoner.

This isn't about the people who are all for smoking pot, this is about convincing the ones who are still opposed to it, and gathering enough popular momentum to permanently change drug policy. I don't think it's a good idea for those in opposition to see a couple of iconic potheads who can barely form a coherent sentence as faces of the movement.

Or maybe I should shut my goddamn mouth. Hands.

Gotta nominate Cheech in Yellowbeard... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=ftUOlj7EHnk#t=112s

Nice background music.


Anyone else find it funny the police have the same background music as "Cheech & Chong - Up In Smoke"?
