Latest articles are saying he's seen the light and has stopped his sinning ways and is now into salsa dancing. But this ain't really about Tommy or his bongs. Its about Askrapts Culture war with the pissant Philanthrapist DEAth czar Waldo lying and spending a fortune in taxes removing glass art and ditchweed and totally making a sham out of the Justice system as a politician campaigning against state initiatives and censoring and prohibiting research. This is a censorship issue. And Chong dong should have fought it and if I was doin the advising I'd say go to Canada, make the BC flick and tell Askrapt to Kiss his Canadian refugee ass!

After describing himself as a former marijuana user who beat drugs by learning to dance to salsa, 65-year-old actor Tommy Chong told a federal judge yesterday that he's now a role model for young people in Los Angeles and wants to help them stay off drugs.
He and his lawyers were hoping for a community service sentence as punishment for distributing thousands of bongs and marijuana pipes online through his California company, Nice Dreams Enterprises.

Hollywood movie begins filming north of Kamloops

KAMLOOPS, B.C. - A new film production is set to shed a ray of light into British Columbia's North Thompson Valley, a region that has suffered from this summer's wildfires.
Shooting for the psychological thriller Deepwater begins Sunday in the central interior communities of Clearwater and Little Fort, one of the film's producers told the Kamloops Daily News.
Produced by Halcyon Entertainment of Los Angeles, the movie is about a drifter who arrives in a town called Deepwater and becomes involved in a game of murder and deceit.
Thompson-Nicola film commissioner Vicci Weller says that the production will help the area's struggling economy, possibly bringing in $250,000.
"They've already been up there for a month or so and they have opened a production office," Weller said.
The five-week production schedule will employ 74 people. The cast includes Edmonton-born Tommy Chong, one-half of the 1970s comic duo Cheech and Chong.
His participation may be in question as Chong was sentenced to nine months in a U.S. federal prison Thursday for selling bongs and other drug paraphernalia over the Internet. Prison officials will tell him in a few weeks where he must report to serve his time.
The closest fire is to the south, in the McLure-Barriere region and, as of Sept. 10, was listed by the B.C. Ministry of Forests as 95 per cent contained.
