Of course, I’m Tommy Chong!

In February 2003, a fully armed SWAT team raided the home of 65 year-old comedian Tommy Chong. Needless to say, they were not looking for copies of That 70s Show. As one half of film’s legendary Cheech & Chong, he regularly poked fun at law enforcement practices but the laughter turned to harsh choking when he was sentenced to 9 months in federal prison for conspiracy to manufacture and distribute drug paraphernalia through Chong Glass, a family business specializing in handmade glass water pipes, or “bongs.” On March 8 at Makor, director Josh Gilbert will be on hand for a Q&A after the screening of his documentary, a/k/a Tommy Chong, to discuss the firsthand-smoke experience.
