tommy chong was in jail for selling bongs. really. he can hardly believe it, either. this was shot two days before thanksgiving, in the visiting room at taft correctional institution, in maricopa county, california. which, honestly, isn't the best place in the world to be. but you could pretty much assume that. thanks to dana collins for the assignment and for doing a spectacular job as always, and innumerable thanks to dean kuipers for driving, for lunch and for writing a great article.
