Tommy Chong On The Drug War: ‘We Won, We Totally Won’

Tommy Chong remembers the day federal agents raided his glass pipe business, making arrests and smashing bongs along the way.

The 2003 raids, infamously known as Operation Pipe Dream, targeted 54 other individuals in a desperate attempt by the United States government to strike fear into marijuana smokers across the country. Chong became the face of the crackdown, largely due to his celebrity status from popular stoner movies, including “Up In Smoke” with partner Cheech Marin.

Chong took another deep hit off some dank weed funny-smelling cigarette, exhaling a heavy cloud of smoke before finishing his point.

“Someone will show up, coincidences will happen, and suddenly you’ll know life is exactly as you’ve planned it.”
