All Hail the godfathers of marijuana been there from the albums to the cult classic 1978 Up in Smoke it's truly a blessing to have them still alive and kicking
Cheech and Chong have changed my life for the better so many times ❤ I’m so glad to have lived in a time when there were people like them existing in the world
All these guys have my deepest respect. Entertainment industry is an uphill battle.. and to go against the grain like these guys have.. and still be unstoppable is incredibly admirable
Cheech and Chong OMG two absolute legends. As ALWAYS it was an absolute pleasure to follow your podcast and I can hardly wait for the new episode. Thank you for the great show and greetings from Germany
Hell yes! Just met Chong at Chronic Con a week or so ago! Dude is super chill, got excited when he saw the giant rolling paper was still in my album i had him sign, that was way cool!
Modern weed is Monotonous. Just like all farmed crops. size and potency go firs. taste and balance in the chemicals are secondary. Modern weed feels like it's missing something.
In the 70"s I was 10- 12.. C&C comedy albums where forbidden fruit in my small town. The one record store in town kept them in the "Adult" section. but there was always one Kid whose parents were cool.. We got to listen to them all and laughed so hard our stomach hurt !! Too funny !! Great times were had...
As a cannabis grower, we just broke 38%THC in a raw, cured flower. This is the second or third highest THC percentage in the city that I'm aware of. My mom found a package label from medical cannabis from California from 2006... it is 11%THC. Don't tell me the weed isn't stronger.
With my medical card I can get $80, ounces of well trimmed, indoor, mids. Retail price. $3 grams... Extremely clean. No shake. Grown, locally, in state of Maine. In the 90s as a kid we had to pay $100 for an ounce for brown, seedy, trash compacted, Mexican, indica.
It's gotten so effing ridiculous! The guests are starting to become second fiddle to the ads! RU-vid in general is getting like this and it's disgusting. It's all about money now. RU-vid is definitely not the same and that's not a good thing. And I hafta say, Steve-Os ads have gotten so out of control that sometimes I don't even wanna watch/listen. All he does is promote products. Such a sell out.
Its a myth that weed is way stronger now. Maybe a little, but that's only if you are getting top notch perfectly grown. A lot of times they lie about the potency anyway. its just different,and not that much diffrent. There used to be a time it was mostly sativa buds if any inddica in united states, now its the oposite.Its hard to find a pure sativa because people think they are not commercial viable because they take twice as long to flower. there are a lot more indica bred into things.They have been selectively breeding cannabis for thousands of years. much of the afganis were bred to make hash, whereas sativas we not used to make hash and used full spectrum. and might seem like there are thousands of strains out there but the linage of them all is not all the convoluted. A lot of really good strains have been bread out of existence simply because of fads and crimimization.
Ask anyone in a legal state if 99% thc isolate gets them high. Most people will say "not really". THC has nothing to do with the effects. It's government/pharma anti Mmj propaganda that the idiot masses have somehow began to believe along with all the alien bull and pretending that votes are actually counted accurately.
Knowing that Steve-O struggles with addiction it's really a bummer to see him supporting Draft Kings. Gambling is a real addiction and it just kinda sucks to see someone like Steve supporting it.
I have to agree with wat they say.. today's bud is higher in thc.. but the reality of it even since about 2008 the bud has become much more artificial/bionic for lack of better terms... even just back then KB, as they called it, was similar to a fruit in structure and sustenance.. it was much more "fuller".. again alot of these terms may not mean much to the non smoker but I know some conessurs out there will understand wat I'm talking about
I was surprised to see that Tommy Chong knew nothing about the cultivation of cannabis. He was talking about that produced in the 70s as though he has no understanding of the changes in available strains in the early 21st century, and he doesn't seem to know the basics differences between types such as Sativa and Indica. I think he is a brilliant man, but was astounded to find he had no idea about such things.
Definitely not. Weed these days is far more psychedelic and strong. Most of the weed on the market back in the day was mass produced and imported mexican brick or stick weeed. They've got everything down to a science now and since it's legal in a lot of states now people can maximize it's potential. Even the hash and concentrates are on another level in todays market. I can't even find mexican brick or reggie bud anymore. No one sells it, it's all at the very least good .
@@coolchickenboys im not talking about Mexican brick im talking about Norcal mountain grown Montana, import thai, Netherlands, afghani. Etc. The genetics were pure and closer to the land race genetics. The over-breeding has made weed more and more conglomerate into a single thing when each strain used to be extremely diverse and special. Now they all feel similar or share parents. Its extremely difficult to find original strains that havnt been inbred to genetic slop.
@@coolchickenboys its difficult to find the weed that makes the entire neighborhood stink these days. I remember back in the day a single .5g dime bag would make your whole entire house reek like bud. You cannot find weed like that today. Period.
@@coolchickenboysLOL they don't have it down to a science. Legal grows don't have a damned clue what they are doing. The old info was never passed to the flat billed idiot generation. They are literal idiots growing the pot in America. It all has off smells. They can't even grow the strains natural flavor let alone the strains effects. All you young idiots keep talking about perfume molecules that don't smell like weed, and thc % that means nothing whatsoever like you have a clue. You don't. Instagram weed is gross. Dispensary weed is gross. It all smokes like you just poisoned yourself. You kids have no idea what getting medicated actually meant 40 years ago.
@@rootz420 It ain't the genetics that's missing, it's the growers. None of them know anything about plant metabolism or nutrition. They will talk all day (out their asses) about environmental factors, moon cycle and all this pointless fluffy bullcrap, but when it comes to the 2 dozen minerals required to produce the crop, the expert pot growers couldn't even name 1/4 of them. But yeah they grow the garbage commercial genetics that actually fit their pesticide dependent garbage pre-made fertilizer model. These grows LITERALLY buy their fertilizer from the weed shop with the funny cartoons on the label and everything, because they don't know how to blend their own for 1/100th the price.
I should be excited for this one but Steve doesn't smoke and I obviously wouldn't expect Cheech & Chong to smoke during this so what's the point? LOL I'll have to watch the highlights
The increase in weed potency has more to do with the greater availability of high quality weed. Take Hindu Kush, with it's 22-32% THC, if you tested Hindu Kush from 1970, and compared it to a plant grown this year, it's not going to be wildly different.
Cheech is the man. I can't watch this. Halfway through and its just a Chong interview so far. Gonna go grab a couple records from storage. The fume trash sponsor was the kicker. ✌️♥️
16:07 California does NOT allow their prisoners to appear on camera. Chong didn't BELONG to California. He was in the feds. So even though the prison was IN Cali, it was not subject to state law.
I'm 59 and it doesn't seem any stronger to me. Good weed is good indeed. Strains better, almost no seeds, but good bud has always been good. Used to be this stuff going around I nicknamed Elephant Stomp Weed, because after you smoked it, you felt like an Elephant stomped on your azz, and I've never had any bud that strong since 1982. A shoebox lid for cleaning stems and seeds and Zig Zags French cut for hand rolling a doobie. AKA Chong is a great documentary.
A plant can only have a certain % of thc. It cannot get any higher. And us humans have been growing that weed for a long time. Google why thc can only get to a certain % in any plant. Interesting read. No such thing as 100% thc lol where's the plant to grow the THC...
It's definitely gotten a lot stronger on average. Back when I still smoked (early to mid 2000's) we mostly had regz (basic $60-$100 an ounce weed, basically a tier or two above brick weed) exotics/hydro (less seeds or none, and decently potent) and then the named strains/medical from cali that was high times quality stuff. You'd be lucky to get something with 15% or higher thc back then.. These days I can't even find regz anymore. No one has it or sells it, everyone has good bud now and everything is 15-28% thc. You take one hit of a joint these days and it may actually lay you out for a few hours. Back in the day you could be pretty certain that a single hit wasn't going to do that.
It's not that weed is stronger now, it's that I have thousands of strains available to me where in high school it was basically local grown skunk and occasionally some purple kush. A friend moved to Alaska when we were young and when he came back for visits he's bring ATF but it would go fast so we always met him as soon as he hit town. ;-)
I'd watch this podcast so much more often if he stopped putting the ad breaks in the middle of a conversation instead of putting it before a question gets asked or the topic changes. I never remember what they were talking about cause shit bro, im high when im watching podcasts
man i love these guys but they were before my time, up in smoke definitely the best one. imo if anyone else knows of a better cheech n chong movie let me know.
in the last 20years it hasnt changed very much, its always got you high, tolerance is one hell of a thing, it's just not a satisfactory high to most of us addicts because its not overwhelming like other drugs, it's a chill eat and watch movies drug. not a social drug honestly.
