S2/E1 – A life up in smoke, with Tommy Chong

Nov 10, 2023 | 11:29 AM

Not many names are as closely associated with cannabis as Tommy Chong. He’s a legendary comedian, musician and actor who has shaped the way we view the plant and its place in culture for over half a century.

Tommy joins the show for this special episode dedicated to him and his life. We learn how his time growing up as a racialized kid in 1940s Alberta set the stage for his career. Tommy talks about being signed to Motown Records and sharing a prison cell with the real Wolf of Wall Street.

We’re honoured to have him launch our second season.
