He was playing a stoner on "That 70's Show".

When I think of agression and terror and the desire to do harm, I think of the average marijuana smoker(sarcasm off). Shouldn't those federal agents be, oh, I don't know, taking a stab in the dark on this one...hunting terrorists? Yes, pot is harmful. Not as harmful as a 757 crashing into your building at 500 knots, or a ill-tempered muslim with 20 lbs of C4 and a few dozen ball bearings under his coat. Prioritize!!!!!

[Dead Corpse]

And exactly what law was broken here? They has smoking materials, but nothing "illicit" to put in them.

Will they come for my Dr. Grabow next?

[Digger]

"Operation Pipe Dreams". How pathetic. Ashcroft should be ashamed. More wasted millions on harassing our citizens. Sure, so Tommy Chong is arrested for selling glass pipes (NO drugs), and yet the entire Bin Laden family is allowed to flee the country without any interrogation on Sept 12, 2001. Disgusting

Tommie needs to get a towel around his head. Ashcroft won't touch that with a ten foot bong. That's what is really disgusting.

[GraniteStateConservative]

All the youths on That 70s Show are stoners.

[angkor]

Absolutely. People can't have illegal smoking devices.

Why, take a gander at this stoner sold at Georgetown Tobacco in D.C.

For the DEA, you can go bust these "traffickers" at 3144 M Street NW.

That was no playing.. Tom's been a real life stoner for years, he makes no secret of that fact, he also loves the ladies quite a bit.. has many children by many different women, most of the mothers were barely legal at the time of impregnation. At least he's not as uptight as Cheech Marin has become.

[amused]

{sigh} the myopic WOD marches on....

A lot of the people that were teenagers in the 70's were stoners. Or at least toked up a little.
Not all, but a lot.

"Operation Pipe Dreams". How pathetic. Ashcroft should be ashamed.

I agree. This is truly disgraceful.

Disgraceful as law, disgraceful as a "success" for the DEA, disgraceful as something Ashcroft would commend.

[Just another Joe]

Be that as it may, he's GOT to be playing it up some on the show.
I was a teen in the 70's and I don't know anyone that was, or is, that far gone from maryjane.

Chong was not arrested but still seems dazed by the crackdown.

Dazed?? Tommy Chong has been dazed all his adult life, IMO.

[Chuckster]

Well Said. This is something that needs to be said often and, these days, loudly.

[angkor]

he's GOT to be playing it up

Yah...he's a comedian.

[MrLeRoy]

I hope they continue to bust as many people as possible.

You'd rather they be capturing bongs than terrorists?

[Britton J Wingfield]

Anyone who touches my Dr Grabow will get the smiting of a lifetime.

[aruanan]

I love it when people talk that way. ;^)

SssssssNAP!

[sneakypete]

It's amazing that Janet Ashcroft can find the time and resources to bust someone as harmless as Tommy Chong,but just can't seem to find any Clinton crimes.

[sneakypete]

"The bigger the bust the better the boost!"

Don't say the word "bust" around Janet Ashcroft! He will be covering you with a $5,000 curtain.

[headsonpikes]

JEFFERSONIAN DISCIPLINING! bumpbumpbump!

LOL!

It has a ring to it.
