Actor and comedian Tommy Chong entertained more than 500 National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws conference-goers Friday.

”If more people were stoned there would be less violence in the world,” Chong said.

”I know Dick Cheney's Secret Service guys smoke pot,” Chong said. “The reason I know that is I sold them bongs.”

He insinuated that President Bush was on methamphetamines.

At the conclusion of Chong's speech there was a showing of a new documentary about Chong called “AKA Chong.”

As soon as the lights were dimmed lighters
started to spark and the banquet room at the Golden Gateway Holiday Inn began to fill with smoke. About half-way through the movie hotel security turned on all the lights and ordered everyone out of the banquet room because they were concerned that the smoke would set off the smoke alarms.

1. Ummmm....no.

"”I know Dick Cheney's Secret Service guys smoke pot,” Chong said. “The reason I know that is I sold them bongs.”

The government's pretty strict about drug testing people in safety-sensitive positions (I know, I'm one of those people). Nobody's "Secret Service guys" are smoking pot.

7. I've just heard him interviewed before...

...and he says some pretty strange things sometimes (while being serious).

You're right...I was taking it seriously.

9. I don't know though

I have a friend who got high with a guy who had a roommate who bought dope from this secret service dude's cousin. LOL

(Just remembering my Cheech and Chong days.)

5. Shit, just go to High Times and there all kind of products that WORK for

avoiding pot detection.

If there's a will there's a way!!!

Yes indeed, I could see sixty year old Georgie enjoying his amphetamines!

6. a couple of days and a lot of water will throw a test

besides -- maybe they didn't buy the bongs for themselves... or for when they are on duty...

[tabasco]

8. None of those products work.

NORML has good information on their website about that stuff. They say none of it works and I believe it. I have heard too many sob stories about people coming up hot after using that detox crap.

If you have to pass a piss test, you have to abstain from using pot for a month.

I felt so much safer when Tommy Chong was in jail. :sarcasm: The Bush administration sure has their priorities straight, don't they?

Tommy Chong is a funny guy. I'm going to look for copies of the old C&C movies. They still make me LMAO. I love Stacy Keach in those movies too.

10. I have a good friend who swears by that stuff

He has been passing tests for over 10 years now.
