NPR Interviews Chong

Today, National Public Radio conducted the most thorough interview we've heard with Tommy Chong since his release.
Touring...Chong says he's only able to perform in Canada until his probation is over (this Spring).
Arrest...He gave more details on his arrest. He says that undercover agents went to his son's bong factory and purchased $5,000 worth of bongs. These headshop owners/agents said they wanted to purchase even more bongs and asked Chong Glass to ship the bongs to the fake headshop. It was total entrapment. These agents had been trying to get Chong glass to ship bongs to Pennsylvania for months. They flew to the factory out of desperation.
Chong received the harsh nine month sentence because Tommy told the press that the only weapons of mass destruction George Bush found were his bongs. They even mentioned what Chong said during his sentencing.
Arnold Schwarzenegger...Tommy met Arnold at a gym and smoked pot with him shortly after Arnold came to the US. Arnold is in denial about it.
