About this product

Product Information

Beloved stoner comedian TOMMY CHONG is now older, wiser, and officially an EX-CON. On the morning of February 24, 2003, agents of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration launched a sting called Operation Pipe Dreams and forced themselves through the door of Tommy's California home, with automatic weapons drawn. As a result of the raid on his home; the simultaneous ransacking of his son's company, Chong Glass; and the Bush administration's determination to make an example out of the "Pope of Pot; "he was sentenced to nine months in prison because his company shipped bongs to a head shop in Pennsylvania that was a front for the DEA. Well . . . now it's Tommy Chong's turn to fight back and tell his side of the story. Beginning with Tommy's experiences growing up in Canada in the forties and fifties as a mixed-race kid and going on to become a comedy legend, "The I Chong" is at once a memoir, a spiritual exploration of his time in prison, and a political indictment of the eroding civil liberties in post-9/11 American society. He tells the unbelievable story of his trip down the rabbit hole of America's war on drugs and of his experiences in the federal prison system, and he offers up timely observations on combating the conservative political forces at work in this country. Introspective, inspiring, and incendiary, "The I Chong" is a unique chronicle of one man's life and how his humorous and spiritual point of view saved him during his wrongful incarceration at the hands of an administration without boundaries.

  • CHONG

    If you are a fan of Cheech and Chong then you are going to love this book! Tommy Chong talks alot about his private personal life. Growing up poor in Canada. His parents. His wives, his children, his beliefs both religous, and political, and his friends and partners in show business (he talks about Cheech a little, too.) He goes on about being accepted in prison by a very culturally diverse population and if people would get along on the outside they way that they do in "the joint" then we would'nt have half the problems that we do. Of course, it was a minimum security prison. I found him very entertaining, and quite profound at times. I was hard to believe these stories, these words were coming from the stoner/hippie/slug whose movies I grew watching. I felt sorry for him at times. I ...

Even if you are not a fan, I can guarentee if you read this book, you will take something from it that you will carry all the days of your life !!! Buy this book today !!
