Tommy Chong's death in the mid-1990s was greatly exaggerated, but did you know he almost quit acting before becoming a movie star?

In the '60s, he played in band called Bobby Taylor and the Vancouvers when Diana Ross saw their act and insisted that Motown sign them immediately.

In the 1990s while in federal prison for selling paraphernalia online, Tommy inspired his cube-mate to write a book, which later became a movie where Leonardo DiCaprio played Jordan Belfort in "The Wolf of Wall Street."

Chong is reuniting with his old partner Cheech Marin to spread their new line of Cheech & Chong dispensaries throughout the country’s legal cannabis states.

Tommy is also pleased to present his robust line of cannabis products which include both THC and CBD. Tommy Chong’s was one of the first multi-territory “Celebrity” Cannabis brands, debuting in the medical California market, then expanding out to every medical and recreational state in the nation.
