On this episode of The Story & Craft Podcast, we sit down with comedian, musician, actor, writer, director, entrepreneur and cannabis advocate, Tommy Chong. It’s a great chat where we touch on his career on stage and screen, his comedy partnership with Cheech Marin and the ups and downs of being a cannabis advocate. It’s an insightful look into how Tommy crafted a career as a backing man, but has always tried to lead by example. We also take a few detours to chat about George Carlin, Tommy’s philosophies on American culture and even a chance encounter with John Lennon. It’s a cool tour into the mind of the legend and cultural icon that is Tommy Chong.
