[quote:9cb1b]...heavy-handed dealing with marijuana offenders in the post-September 11 era.

The documentary suggests the government's motive was not to rid the Internet of a mail-order pipe-and-bong business but to send a message about Chong's three decades of movies and stand-up routines celebrating marijuana use.[/quote:9cb1b]


...lol. I don't see how a nine month jail term in a minimum security prison is being heavy-handed or attempting to collapse an already decaying 40 year old career. Must be paranoid?

From what I'm reading, this documentary is about Chong and the people that hurt his celebrity feelings. Apparently he's ignoring the thousands of people in REAL jail through marijuana with buillshit terms from decades ago and the present time.
