Tommy Chong’s Prison Interview – Operation Pipe Dream Backfires on DEA

Join us for an exclusive interview with legendary comedian Tommy Chong, conducted inside Taft Federal Prison for the documentary “American Drug War.” As one of the only journalists to finagle my way into Taft, I bring you Tommy’s candid, unfiltered, and dryly humorous reflections from behind bars.

Background: For all you pre-9/11 viewers, life was simpler back then. Post-9/11, the government decided everyone might be a potential terrorist. George Bush even declared, “If you do drugs, you support terrorism.” And apparently, if you sell glass pipes, you really support terrorism.

On February 24th, 2003, federal agents stormed the home of 65-year-old actor and comedian Tommy Chong. Not because he had drugs, but because his son was using Tommy’s name and face to sell glass pipes online. The feds even planted an undercover employee in the company to ship a pipe to Pennsylvania, turning it into a federal offense.

In this interview, Tommy reveals:

His daily life in Taft Federal Prison, where the food was professionally grown by experts and the company was...interesting.
His thoughts on the government's logic that linked glass pipes to terrorism.
How this whole fiasco inadvertently launched him back into the spotlight, proving that sometimes, getting busted is good for business.
And here's the kicker: years later, I learned that one of Tommy’s cellmates was none other than Jordan Belfort, the infamous Wolf of Wall Street. Turns out, Tommy gave Jordan the push he needed to write his best-selling book. "THE WOLF of WALL STREET" Who knew federal prison was such a networking hub?

Don't miss this eye-opening and amusing glimpse into Tommy Chong's prison life, filled with his signature wit and humor.
