Tommy Chong — who played the part of Hyde's stoner boss, Leo, on "That '70s Show" — is more similar to his character than you may realize. Although cannabis has been associated with Chong's identity ever since comedy duo Cheech Marin and Chong starred in the 1978 film "Up in Smoke," in recent years, Chong has introduced his own cannabis company, Tommy Chong's Cannabis. The company sells CBD topicals, full spectrum oils, and nano CBD, among other products.
According to a 2020 interview with the Cannabis Business Times, during which Chong chatted about his hopes for his new business, he said that he sees himself and Cheech as the "almighties" of cannabis. Chong shared, "If there was a post higher than Pope, that would be us. Cheech and Chong: We're one toke above the Pope, that's where we are."
According to The Guardian, Chong spent nine months in jail in 2003 for selling glass pipes could potentially be used to smoke cannabis online. According to a 2015 interview with Rolling Stone, he only had "just one bad half hour in jail." Since then, he has continued his career in film and TV, voicing a character in "Zootopia" and competing on "The Masked Singer." Chong also briefly hosted a podcast with his son, Paris Chong. In "The Tommy Chong Podcast," the father-son duo talked about everything from cannabis to the 2016 presidential election.
