Tommy Chong Marijuana Quotations

So (legalizing marijuana) means a lot more to me than just being able to smoke a joint without being arrested.

Marijuana grows everywhere in the world. And it really is currency, if you think about it.

You can smoke marijuana, you can eat it, you can wear it, it's a perfect plant!

Marijuana is a proven medicine.

Marijuana has become like currency. Anytime you grow a crop like marijuana, or wheat, or corn, or anything that people consume on a daily basis, you're [getting] into a huge economic area.

You got a bag of pot, there's someone who wants to buy it from you. So in a weird way, marijuana has [become] and is becoming the new currency of the world.

We see the corrupt prison system, we see the corrupt police system, we see the corruption in the government, from the top on down. You know, it's built based on lies. However, the marijuana industry itself, because it was an underground industry, showed us the way we could exist on this planet.

By making marijuana illegal, the agricultural people can't grab hold of it like they did with corn and wheat. So those companies are scrambling around trying to get hold of it, but they can't, because it's a cottage industry, and it will always be a cottage industry. Because the minute the big companies try to make it their own, like they did with soybeans...like Monsanto, they put their own patent on seeds, and you can't do that with marijuana.

More than anything, the weed really helped with my mental state, because marijuana works on the brain. And if anything, it soothes the brain.
