Isn’t Tommy Chong Canadian? ;)

How did I know there would be a site about this?

He’s been convicted of selling smoking accessories online or something like
that. Considering what I see for sale in Berkeley every time I’m there I was
kind of astonished at his conviction. The stuff was more properly art glass
than hardcore pipe stuff.
Ridiculous but true.
For no particular reason I find it necessary to point out that not only do I
not smoke tobacco, I also do not smoke “thee ganja.” As a matter of fact,
having tried eating (since I don’t smoke) “funny brownies” twice in my life
as a youth I am convinced that I have a rather severe allergy to marijuana.

I attended a party once in my college days where ‘wacky tobacy’ was very much
used (and boy did I have the munchies that night). Truth be told, I didn’t take
one ‘hit’ at all, but the house was filled with the smoke thereof. I ended up
heaving into the toilet later in the evening, which is pretty weird for me
considering that I don’t drink alcohol either.
I remember this quite clearly because it was the last time I ever threw up. So
maybe there is something to being allergic to the stuff. Or it could have been
the pizza or something else...

I have no problem with those that wish to smoke it though...more power and
freedom to ‘em.
|
Agreed.

This would be yet another defense of an issue in which I have no personal
stake.I am just looking at the civil liberties angle and seeing that what is
being done to Chong is pointedly unfair, unreasonable, and pointless.

And think of the monetary costs.
