Get It Legal with Cheech and Chong


Here they go again. America’s favorite cannabis clowns – Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong – hit the road once more beginning in Colorado in January.

This time around the comedy team is teaming up with the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP), to promote policy change through laughter.

The “Cheech and Chong: Get It Legal!” tour currently lists shows in 17 North American cities. It all starts in Boulder at the Macky Auditorium Jan. 16.

Chong spouse Shelby and DJ Joey Mojo appear on all dates.

For those of you feeling a little hazy when it comes to short-term memory, the “Cheech & Chong: Get It Legal!” tour is a follow up to the team’s successful “Light Up America” reunion tour. However, you can relive those memories when a DVD of the pair’s San Antonio show – “Cheech and Chong’s Hey Watch This” is released next April.

This time the funny guys have partnered with the Marijuana Policy Project to focus attention on “the harm caused by marijuana prohibition and the urgent need for different, more sensible marijuana laws.”

Or, as Tommy Chong said: “Want to make a change? Come to a Cheech and Chong show. It’s time to get it legal, before it’s too late.”

To be honest, we were surprised by the volume of requests for passes to this duo's "Light Up America" tour this year. We have no doubt that the 2010 tour will generate similar interest, so make your requests early.
