Tommy is the nicest most down to earth guy you will ever meet. I met Tommy and hung out with him when I was 15 at my sister's wedding. My brother in law was his agent in the 90s and he gave me his autograph on a napkin at my sister's wedding. He wrote stay high, be cool. I was 15 then and a toker and was a big fan of his movies.
are you a marijuana?
I would love to meet tommy, not because he's famous or any thing, but just because hes a great person who's done allot for our community
stephen78able no kj
I don't think you want to mention that someone gave a fifteen-year-old the incentive to stay high on the internet even
@@tylerrollison8351 I would like to meet Tommy because he is famous LOL and he seems sharp yes LOL
Tommy Chong is a really smart man for being "just a stoner comedian" 🤔
Couldn't have said it better.
Wise man stoned = epic talk about reality
Tommy is my hero! He lives what he believes. Bless him!!!😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
Watch him on joe Rogan's podcast I used to think he was hella smart till I heard him on there
He is.
Weed got rid of my cancer and I think thats pretty cool
great stuff congrats
How did u do it? Love to hear from you
weed got rid of herpes for me!
@@boysboettcher6525 I'm afraid to ask how the hell did we get rid of herpes for you
Me too! Stage 3! Been cancer free since 2013!
Just love that the EXIT sign is green... ✅
I thought I would be the only one who would notice LMAO
Sweet you caught that to loving it
Yeah and those dish noises are giving me the munchies
I'm 62 and I get high everyday I love my bud
Mike wslsh Walsh legend
I'm the same,but I can't get it where I live(still illegal) I need to move.
@@oberon0023 Just grow it say nothing to anyone. Easy way to grow is Autoflower seeds, Living Soil, Cheap Grow tent and 300w light. Water the soil every two-three days when the soil is dry on top about inch down (check with finger) and then when the plant is about to flower use a compost tea to feed the soil. This is the easiest way to grow weed in my opinion.
@@angelblue314 They don't have weed stores where you live?
@@angelblue314 lol I'll send you some jk thats to bad you can't get what you need though. I live in Canada and there is a weed store on every second corner now. we just walk in and pick from a menu and but it. if you get stop by the police you have to have the receipt to prove you bought ot from the store. the government is trying to shut out the dealers so they can maximize on profits lol
I have a family member who developed a brain tumor and one of the questions they asked him was what has changed in your life and he told them he recently had stopped smoking marijuana. So not knowing what to do they asked him to go back to it. With in a few days, just under a week, it went away. The doctors were so stunned they had all kinds of high up doctors from the state all coming to look at him. It was crazy. And so far a year later and it still hasn't came back.
Wow. Stunning how much it helps. We need to ensure it stays good. Save seeds.
Not surprised a bit.
There have been similar cases.
I am one of those.
Cheech and Chong are responsible for me smoking pot for 48 years and still going strong. I still watch the movies late at night with a beer and a bong.....laughing as hard as the first time I ever saw them. the downside is at 68 yrs, I don't think I can do another 48. thanks for the memories.
I hope you are still chillin brother Nathaniel, we have the same name, you seem like a cool man brother, peace an God bless an I hope you still are smoking up
@@nathanielrossi9659 thank you, Nathaniel. that's what I'm doing right now. chillin out with a little Frankie Valli and Dion, watching my swiss goats in the backyard, toking on a bowl of strawberry diesel topped with strawberry diesel crumble. hope you are enjoying your day as much as I am, here in Florida it's 88 degrees and sunny. the forecast looks a little stony, with a chance of a Cheech/Chong movie.
@@nathanielcohen9890 very nice music choice to be chillin too, an that bowl sounds like some good stuff! My dad has been well except the weather here in Michigan ain't as good as down there today, it was 80 yesterday I'm pretty sure, it's 50 now with rain, still a chill day smokin up an that would be nice to what cheech an chong I actually ain't seen it in awhile now. Peace!
THC TV = awesome... Chong is so relaxing in this vid! his voice just oozes harmonic resin and cannabinoids
Yeah because they want you to take their crowd control drugs that have side affects like death then to let you beat them
@@sadflute8639 what
Listening to Chong talk about cannabis and spiritualism and Ancient History really calms down my anxiety and stress, it's like smoking a joint without smoking a joint
I know right!!
“It allows the mind to dream, to create”.
It sure does!
My art is a testament to cannabis’s inspiration.
I know! Like an antenna to some universal wavelength. Sativa works best artistically for me. Sativa better for you too?
So was the art of Rodney Dangerfield, who said in a Rolling Stone interview late in life that he was a lifelong toker, even toked up once in an upstairs bathroom of the White House when he performed there. Relax, be inspired.... have another hit!
Marihuana helped me to heal without medicine, arthritis, ptsd (ex soldier and ex cop), put together with biddhist meditation and simple love for life.
People like Chong are the voice of freedom ✌
But it is a medicine ;)
What a wonderful man. I could listen to him for hours.💚
The David Attenborough of weed lol
All I know is I have a skin condition and depression/anxiety and it all improved substantially. Really astounding after all of the lies we were told. The only thing I changed was medicating daily.
You were taking anti depressants too? I have a friend who has it and I don't know what advice to give. Any advice would be helpful. Thx!
He's literally so spot on. I love him so much. SPEAK THAT TRUTH!!🙌🏼👏🏼😂
Oh man. I had a stroke and I sure wish I could get some for my nerve pain. It pisses me off that it's not legal everywhere.
Tried it out, but it made me too dizzy and tired to do anything. I guess it's not for me. I thought it would make me pain free, and happy. It made me tired, and cranky because I couldn't think straight, and get things done.
Try some CBD if you can find it. They sell it online in some countries

If it was your first time, that’s normal. I just smoked for the first time in Eight years and it took some adjustment to get used to it.
Then I started noticing thing about myself that I’ve been neglecting like my poor diet and being out of shape, so it made me want to be healthier. I couldn’t even eat the snacks I had prepared.
Cannabis truly lets you see the truth. Medicine for the brain is right.
@@IsaacNewton1966 You might want to try a sativa strain if pain is the issue and you want to be focused. Start low and go slow.
@@dakoderii4221 I just realized that there were several replies to my comment. Damn TH-cam only gives me half my notifications! Great advice offered all around. It's hard to find for me cause it's not legal here, and I don't know people. But if I could, I would maybe try it again some day. A different strain or something.
I didn't know you were diagnosed with cancer. Bless you still holding on. Regular meds causes problems
Tommy for president you should run brother your a god damn legend On bended knee we pray too the,😘 love from Australia 🇦🇺
Howdy; from USA! 🙁🙃
@@aaronehrhart2346 HEY me too!!
Tommy is awesome. Those 10 people who disliked this video are not.
they say weed makes you dumb. well that's a dumb thing to say, just look at this man!
well isn't he transparent about it? if there is proof that this is happening and he doesn't admit it then i'd say he's money hungry. maybe he just wants those chemicals for research no matter if he gets the money or not..
Damian Damianio www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/CBD/comments/8j3rls/lyft_cbd_liquold_gold_by_diamond_cbd_contains/
Damian Damianio theres loads of proof diamond even blocked my Instagram account for posting that link on their page think that says a lot
Damian Damianio I'm sure he knows he has his own line of CBD that contains synthetics
Slappy Mcdagger Why buy oils? You can buy flower and make oils, no need to worry about these companies
One of the best speeches I've ever heard thank you so much.
I LOVE This Man. A True Prophet.
I love this man! Have a wonderful day everyone
This video has 420 likes! I just can't ruin that.
Now it has 5.4k and 66 dislikes. Someone messed it up lol...it needs 600 more dislikes to let us know who doesn't want us to smoke instead of take pills with side effects.
Tommy! Brother, you are spot on man. You are so spot on, you took the words right out of my mouth brother.
“ I was using medical marijuana, before the government told me it was medicine.”
What an amazing man. Chong speaks the truth and nothing but the truth. I agree with every point he made. Weed is not the devil, weed is not what people should be worried about. Weed is safe, harmless, and a gift from God. Some may say they've had traumatic experiences from smoking or have done outrageous things they wouldn't do if they were sober. I agree weed isn't for everyone (like all things!!) but think about what you would do if you were blackout drunk! You wouldn't even be able to remember what you did! Weed is not the killer! Alcohol is and always will be the most dangerous substance in the USA and that is because it is LEGAL and accessible to quite almost everybody and accounts to many deaths YEARLY!!
First, they ignore you...
Then, they mock you...
Next, they hate you...
And then, you win...
Thank you, Mr. Chong! We just have to wait for the rest of society to gain your wisdom...
The very best speaker i have ever been witness too i feel priviledged to have lived long enough to see these times unfold before us...power to the people who have suffered for this time to take place!! Istill live in a state that throws u in jail for trying to save your own life and a multitude of others through the miracle of thc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LONG LIVE TOMMY CHONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Move!
Move to where it is legal.
Immediately!
lol
I have ADD, ADHD, and OCD and smoking marijuana has helped me with these issues for years.
When he started talking about weed is medicine.. I went into a trance
Thank you for your input. I stay in pain. I was placed on the wrong meds. Yes PTSD as well as seizure disorder so arthritis developed. And since 1979 it's been legal in VA to dispense. But they dont. My prayers for relief. We need it.
This man. Just, thank you so much for everything Tommy Chong. You genuinely have changed me for the better. You are like a living Uncle Iroh.
Smoke weed every day
I have for 40 years
I sang that comment...lol
I have to say, i'm the most sober of all cannabis users. As a teen i was irresponsible and smoked a lot, and since its still illegal in Ireland, you never know all the chemicals that were used to grow it, and i definitely got some dodgy strains and it messed with my head and heart, but most of the time it was fine. In my 20s i only smoked it when a friend had some. Last year i smoked it twice first around this time last year and the second time was christmas and it really made the whole covid shit and the holidays much better and more enjoyable, but only because i do it in moderation, nothing is ever as fun if you overindulge, so will power at least for me makes it way better. Anyway, i have been constantly getting up during the night to pee, at least 3 times, sometimes 5 times a night. Along comes christmas eve and i took out this 50 bag that i bought about two years ago, that''ll tell you how much i use it now, so i popped a little pinch in my pipe and had the best night ever and many of them and that night i slept like a baby --didn't get up to pee once. Also i'm an artist and i have so many ideas for my art when i'm high that its kind of annoying, i'm constantly jotting things down. So for me its all about moderation, there are times in life when you should be sober and in fact a lot of people use psychedelics to enhance their sober states of mind, because i actually really enjoy being sober as well as being high.
That may have been the best video I have ever seen. I have seriously been blown away.
This is my third legal season as a "Heineken guy". I have a root Salve that will get you up on your feet and let you jog for miles, I have stuff that eliminates breast cancer, I have stuff that alleviates migraines, I have stuff that will make you forget your name. I cannot express how good it feels to help heal other people, that in itself is healing personally. Do it, grow your own, talk to your plants, tell everyone I was being nice, tell Mom I Stay High. Thank you so much, Tommy, for your inspiration, encouragement and support!!! Love ya man!
Cool dude. Medicine for real. Don't abuse it and it will hug you for life.
He’s dropping major Jewels 💎 right now
YES YES YES Tommy!!! Thank You. GREAT knowing you!!!!
Tommy is like the David Attenborough of plant life. I could listen to him talk forever!! Lol
Right on brother! I’m one of the tribe too✌🏼
he's like Jesus the way he humbles him self. And very Intelligent too.
I love this guy.
Weed keeps me from being depressed and makes me smart at 68...I have less forgetfulness..
Really?? I wanna hear more. I'm so forgetful...wait what were we talking about?? Jk.
Wait what was I going to reply with...
@~@
What
Never been put so perfectly, thankyou
It's ironic that the exit sign is green 💚
Praise God no more cancer!
Tommy's a simple minded genius. He was capable of honing in on the things that matter in life, such as the quality of consciousness. His advice at the end, to love and listen, is exactly what I used when I was drafted into the USMC, 6nov69. By applying such enlightenment to those around me, I was highly regarded by lifers and/or combat vets, as I therefore excelled to the highest rating (then a 4.9).
that comment has so many things going on in my head I want to say thanks and sorry but I don't want to have to say thanks and sorry that was wrong what they did to you they turned you into a hired Hitman that was just wrong on so many levels bless you go bro and happy turkey day
This is a fantastic video. It speaks to the heart of the issues regarding cannabis. Tommy, I REALLY appreciate your using your position to speak the truth. If you ever need me, I'll be there for you. I have your back, sir!
I have been smoking weed since I was 15 and now I'm 64! It makes me happy so what is wrong with being happy!
Not a darn thing my friend, my personal opinion. I feel "the powers that be" want us unhappy and don't want to "help" or "heal" us. If they did, they'd go broke over night.
i got to say after all these years he did it ,he made me cry first time ,i did not think he could but yep i cryed ,he told the truth about it all.and if it dont make ya fell some thing than you not hearing him right.
I Love you Tommy. You know the Way, the Tao.
Gotta love Tommy Chong. He's been a pioneer in the pot movement from the beginning and he's always had the gift of wisdom and able to make you laugh.
The sad part is this is all comedy but it's the truth
Such a awesome speech, moving and funny!
What a legend👌🏻👌🏻
Everyone needs to watch this video. Whether it changes their minds about marijuana or not, they need to watch Tommy speak the truth.
Medicine for the brain is right. Every time I take weed my ADHD would stop for a week or two it helps me to stay focus.
I don't know why but the soaring eagle clutching cannabis feels like a proper replacement to all the soaring eagle on the current national seals.
It just looks so natural and awesome.
MY First concert in 1974 was Cheech and Chong coincidentally my first joint too, still here today still listening still puffing.....
Mine was black oak arkansas in 74!... still puffin and choking. Won't give up with the copd. Soon I have to go edible
Excellent Debate rebuttal, Mr Chong. We’ve already heard the other side
I worked a Cheech and Chong show in a theatre that was working in as a tech and they did skits from the albums and the first maybe may have been out. Don't remember exactly. It was hilarious and a great show. Lots of props. When the show was over I picked so many pills and joints up off the stage before we started tear down that the audience had thrown up there I was high for 3 months. lol the theatre was sold out. 2300 seats.
Thankyou Tommy ,much love and respect.!
Tommy Chong for President....
It helps with seizures that I have and helps me relax in a crazy world
Seen him twice .he's as sharp as ever.keep Rollin on chong.
Tribes take care of each other☺️Although this was a "comedy routine" so much TRUTH was spoken❤️❤️❤️
Migraines ! I had a neurologist tell me in the early 90 s prescribed beta blockers , IMITREX and said “ why dont you try some marajuana ? “ this is a painful genetic neurological disorder that affects the entire central nervous system. Thank god for pot !
The smoke that heals.
Since the 70's for my trip. He's so true!
I agree 100% with every word he said ✌❤ from Montana
I've got HME and depression and it really helps me.
Imagine a blend of "CHONG´S CHOICE" and "WILLY´S RESERVE" Powerful stuff MAN!
His thoughts are sooooooo pure ...
he's so spot on. I use marijuana medically first and foremost, i struggle insomnia, appetite loss, anger and physical pain. it balances me out. the level of joy in my life has increased dramatically. god bless pot and tommy🙏🙏

Tommy is my hero! & a marijuana smoker since 1958
Been in the tribe for 45 years now 🔥💨😎
one of our strongest marijuana advocates ever
the plant is 55 thousand years old.
No, no, no. Much older. Much much older. Try 3.5 billion years
no...its determined to be 50 to 60 thousand years old. what you talk about it the first plants ever. rocks come into existence 4 billion years ago
determined lmao its a plant that isn't a hybrid, it has been here since the beginning of time. you can not go into a lab and create a seed and it live, you can't actually create life, it did not just come into existance one day.
there is no way of knowing how old anything is unless you were there
So, plants evolved about 370 million years ago, and the first creatures crawled onto land about 365 million years ago. For about 140 million years, we had giant insects and an explosion of flora. Then we had the dinosaurs from about 225 million years ago to about 65 million years ago. Then the Dinos all died, providing the opportunity for mammals to take over the world. From 65 million years ago to about 6 million years ago, our species was in the process of manifesting itself. From 6 million years ago to about 300,000 years ago, we did manifest ourselves out of the hominids.
Cannabis, being a plant, had likely been around earth for ( at least ) a few million years before our species, if not hundreds of millions before we manifested itself from the great apes. It is thought that Cannabis spread around the world as we’ve known it for the last 5000 years out of Central Asia
Blessings from THE TRINITY 🎇💖🙏. Love you much...
Great speech tommy
Still true today. Major depression,C PTSD, anxiety disorder, and high blood pressure; had them all then I started taking cannabis. Now bp is good, lost over 75lbs, calmer, sleep better at night, and able to handle past traumas when an attack hits ( it's not a cure all, still have good and bad days).
What a wise, benevolent man
Best video I’ve ever seen
Right on ! No meds grow your own
two thumbs up! living legend
Amen ,amen
a true religion
Government dose not want the people it serves ,to think.
Remain dumb an obey, is all they want.
Tommy Chong YOU are The Best.
Thanks Tommy.
I am very happy that weed is legal in Canada.🇨🇦
Dont smoke till the mortgage, and bills are paid...then fri.,and sat. Is ok...
Everyday should only be medical..but you get a tolerance...
GOD BLESS !
I can say that it has also helped heal my brain. 14 years ago I had a traumatic brain injury after my pickup fell on my head. Weed has helped me with the headaches and the slight PTSD that came from it.
