The World’s Most Famous Stoner, Tommy Chong, Did An AMA And You Won’t Believe How Much He Spends On Weed

Tommy Chong has played many roles throughout his life. He’s one half of the duo ‘Cheech & Chong’, a pair that brought marijuana into the mainstream back in the late 1970s and early 1980s. While the mainstream media was all talking about the dangers of marijuana Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong were churning out comedies in Hollywood for the burgeoning stoner crowd of America. Tommy Chong’s been a life long advocate of marijuana legalization, a musician, a stand up comedian, an actor, and recently he’s amassed an enormous following on both Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter as millennials have flocked to his unique brand of stoner humor.

Tommy Chong in a man that smokes weed all day every day. A few days ago I posted a picture of him where he was holding a jar of dabs (cannabis oil) that was valued at somewhere between $80,000 to $100,000…So I just assumed that he spends ungodly sums of money on weed. This is why I was shocked to read through some of his answers in his Reddit AMA, including the answer about how much he spends on cannabis. Now before I ramble on anymore let’s get to the very best answers from Tommy Chong’s AMA:

The Best Of Tommy Chong’s AMA On Reddit


I find it weird that he hasn’t yet smoked with Sir Paul…

splifgod:
Hey Tommy Chong! I have 3 questions:
1. Whats your favorite strain of marijuana?
2. If you could smoke with anybody in the history of mankind who would you smoke with and why?
3. What are the chances you’d smoke with a fan like me?

SantaChong:
Anything given to me by a naked woman.
Uhhhh, Paul McCartney, because he’s the only Beatle I haven’t smoked up with. I smoked in front of Ringo because he was just out of rehab, and smoked in front of Lennon because he was worried about immigration, but me and George Harrison were very close smoking buds. Buds. Hehe. And the other guy there was Wally from Leave it to beaver.


hip_hop_opotimus:
How much do you estimate you have spent on weed throughout your entire life?

SantaChong:
I stopped having to buy pot a long time ago. It helped.


Favorite stoner activity:

how_u_doing:
What’s your one favorite thing to do while you’re high?

SantaChong:
Smile.


How long until marijuana‘s legalized nationwide?

tfarrelljjr:
Do you see marijuana being legalized federally anytime in the not-to-distant future?

SantaChong
I think when Obama leaves, he’ll do a fuck you to the Republicans and reschedule it. That’s all we need to do: reschedule it.


Best weed in Colorado?

StoneyThrashez:
Hey Chong, I’m about to move to Colorado. Boulder really. So in your opinion, what’s the best way to celebrate?

SantaChong:
My son lives there! I LOVE Boulder. It’s the hippy Valhalla. Best way to celebrate would be with dignity. It’s a Chong’s Choice strain. Hahah.


Is sex on weed all it’s cracked up to be?

TheAnswer00:
In your experience, is having sex high that much better?

SantaChong:
Yes it is.


What changed America’s stance:

Lebowski_Rams:
What do you think is the biggest factor that has changed America’s more progressive view on pot?

SantaChong:
The cellphone. Because when anybody says anything, people are on their phone checking it for the truth. When Sanjay Gupta talked about how marijuana helped a child with epilepsy. Once it changed his mind, everyone fell into place. If anything, Up in Smoke delayed it.
How can you argue against a kid who hugged his mother for the first time thanks to pot??


Dude’s rocking a hog:

YourKindOfWoman:
What’s a secret you’ve never shared with anyone? Don’t be shy with me now.

SantaChong:
Well, it used to be my dick reduction….


This doesn’t sound tasty at all…

Hazardic:
Favorite way to smoke the ganj?

SantaChong:
The kombucha bong. Home made. Check this out. I’m gonna make a video.


Being high at work:

Considerable:
Tommy, I’m such a huge fan of yours, and it’s my dream to share a bowl with you – I’m also an aspiring stoner actor/ivist. How well do you handle being stoned on set?

SantaChong:
One of the reasons why we wrote our own movies was because I could never remember any kind of lines. In fact, that was my big thing about working the 70s show and all that. I couldn’t remember. I still have a hard time memorizing, but I can create like that. As long as I don’t have to use my brain for anything other than connecting with the muse.


Snoop bogarts all the weed…

how_u_doing:
Can you remember the order of the circle during the whole sesh?

SantaChong:
It depends on who you’re smoking with. If you’re smoking with Snoop Dog you don’t have to worry about it, because the joint stops there.


Favorite place to get high:

_bey420:
Where is your favorite place to smoke? In your house and then maybe in the world?

SantaChong:
Hmm… probably Vancouver. On the beach. The sun’s going down. I’m a beachcomber, so I’m discovering the beach, I’ve got these geese honking away, and there’s nothing nicer than lighting up a doob and just….. looking.
When I was a poor kid in Calgary my dad would talk about the beach. It just seemed like heaven. Why would he want to leave? That’s my heaven.
At home, on my roof. I do a bit in the show: I’m so used to hiding from somebody that I can’t really get high unless I feel like I’m hiding from somebody.


Best memory from That 70s Show:

BreatheHeather:
I loved you in that 70’s show! What is your favorite memory from the show?

SantaChong:
I guess the last show. When Kitty called me by name instead of Leo. “I’m going to miss you Tommy.” They took it out. That was the sweetest thing. She didn’t like me when I first joined. She was very cold. But she had to warm up to me because she had to. Hehehe.


Is dabbing all it’s cracked up to be?

smokeswirl:
Hi tommy! Big fan of yours. What is your opinion on dabs, wax, extracts, etc.? Do you think these newer methods of getting high stray into dangerous or uncharted territory? I’m asking this because I have friends who have started dabbing and have found that their tolerances are completely destroyed and merely smoking a joint does nothing for them now. Just curious about your two cents. Thanks!

SantaChong:
Well, I don’t dab that much, so I couldn’t tell ya. I have no idea. I used to do hash back in the day and we only needed a bit. Back in the day, you were credited for smoking the littlest amount to get you the highest, as opposed to the most to get you the highest because then it would last longer. We’d take a little piece of hash, heat it up, pass it around and that would get us all high.
Because, so many people are trying to die from ODing on marijuana because it bugs them that no one has died from it. These guys are extreme, trying to be the one who passes out and almost dies, but they never do and they’re like “maybe next time.”


I actually met Timothy Leary just before he passed away, so this one was cool for me to hear:

flyingfalconpunch:
Who was the most memorable person you’ve ever smoke with? Up in Smoke is one of my my favorite films btw.

SantaChong
Uhh, William Burroughs and Timothy Leary, I guess. While we smoked up, Burroughs was telling me about the joys of heroine.


And last but not least.. The best music to smoke weed to:

tfarrelljjr:
What are some of your favorite albums to listen to/movies to watch after a sesssion?

SantaChong
I go way back> I’m an old motown guy. Probably my favorite music of alltime has to be What’s Going On with Marvin Gaye. That was my alltime favorite record. Followed very closely by Miles Davis, Kind of Blue, followed very closely by anything by Wes Montgomery.
Then I like all the new music: Sammy Smith — I’m dancing tango to his Academy Award song. My tango teacher, she’s this beautiful 6’2″ Lithuanian lady, just so beautiful, and we’re dancing that together.


Well bros, I hope you came away from this ‘Best of the Tommy Chong AMA’ with some new insight into the world of weed/marijuana/cannabis, because I certainly did. I’ve got some albums to purchase, some books to read, and some bongs to invest in.
