Tommy was out in Amsterdam this past weekend to launch his partnership with Futurola.
Here is some video from the events. I guess his Dancing with the Stars smoking hiatus is over.
Legendary writer/actor/comedian Tommy Chong of the Grammy Award-winning comedic duo Cheech & Chong, and 2014 competitor in ABC’s Dancing with the Stars has inked his first-ever international co-branding deal with Europe’s top purveyor of roll-your-own smoke accessories, Futurola, to introduce premium Dutch rolling equipment to the expanding U.S. market.
Headquartered in “the smoker’s capital of the world,” Amsterdam, Netherlands, Futurola opened its first U.S. branch office in early 2014 to bring its line of high-quality smoke accessories to legal medical marijuana patients and American smoke enthusiasts nationwide. The collaboration, which unites Europe’s top brand of smoker’s equipment with America’s most famous toker, will feature a co-branded collection of roll-your-own essentials including fine, handcrafted rolling papers, herb grinders and Futurola’s patented rolling machine -- the only device on the market which rolls cone-shaped cigarettes, the preferred style in Dutch coffee shop culture.

Comedian Cheech Marin to guest star on CW's 'Jane The Virgin'
CW’s Jane The Virgin is getting a dose of serious comedy cred: EW has learned exclusively that legendary comic Cheech Marin will guest star as abuelita Alba’s love interest.
The Mexican-American comedian—who gained notoriety as half of the successful counterculture comedy duo Cheech & Chong—is set to star in an episode of Jane The Virgin that’s slated to air when television’s favorite twentysomething virgin returns from its winter hiatus in January. The 68-year-old Nash Bridges alum will play Edward, whom Alba meets in physical therapy.
“We are so thrilled to have him join the show,” executive producer Jennie Urman tells EW.
Marin is the latest in a slew of Latin celebrities tapped to appear on the American revamp of popular Venezuelan telenovela Juana La Virgen. Colombian rock musician Juanes and third-season X Factor USA judge Paulina Rubio are scheduled to appear in upcoming episodes of the family comedy, which received a full series order last month.

Tommy Chong Launches Reviver Swipes
Comedian Tommy Chong, known for the marijuana-themed Cheech & Chong comedies, has partnered with Reviver Clothing Swipes to launch a line of swipes designed to remove the smell of cannabis and tobacco odor on clothing.
Reviver said the product helps keeps marijuana usage discreet, a need that is more relevant than ever with the growing legalization of both recreational and medicinal marijuana.
"While our culture is rapidly accepting cannabis consumption as a way of life, it's fair to acknowledge that smelling like cannabis in many public settings may not be cool," Chong said in a statement.
"I could have used my Tommy Chong's Smoke Swipe 10 years ago to save me from a lot of headache," he added, referring to a nine-month prison sentence he received in 2004 for shipping bongs to Pennsylvania. "Now, those who partake in it can keep it to themselves."
"We are honored to collaborate with the legendary Tommy Chong," said Reviver founder and CEO Ben Kusin. "With his input, we were able to develop the ideal product that's long overdue for cannabis consumers."
The swipes are portable and reusable, Dallas-based Reviver said. Customers can place a swipe on their fingers, rub the applicator across clothing to neutralize odors, and replace it into its re-sealable package.
Tommy Chong's Smoke Swipe is available for $10.99 per 3-pack at www.chongswipes.com and will be landing in head shops and dispensaries nationwide in the coming months.
As part of the comedy duo Cheech & Chong, Grammy Award-winning Chong minted six gold records and released eight films. Chong went on to star in several films and television shows, including his regular character, "Leo" on the comedy series "That 70s Show."
In 2012, Chong announced he was battling prostate cancer and decided to combat his illness with a controversial cannabis oil protocol. On July 5, 2012, he revealed that the cannabis treatment had been effective and he was cancer free.

FastFunds Financial Corporation Announces Completion of Agreement for Production and Promotion of Tommy Chong Branded Cannabis GreenCard
WEST PALM BEACH, FL--(Marketwired - Nov 20, 2014) - FastFunds Financial Corporation ("FastFunds" or the "Company") (OTC: FFFC) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Cannabis Angel, Inc., and The 420 Development Corporation, announced today that a definitive licensing agreement with Chongson, Inc. ("Chongson") regarding the production, promotion and sale of a Tommy Chong branded Cannabis GreenCard has been finalized. An extensive sales and marketing program is currently being organized with plans to roll-out the Tommy Chong Cannabis GreenCard into the market.
Tommy Chong is an actor, writer, director, activist, and musician. He is well known for his marijuana-themed Cheech & Chong comedy albums and movies with Cheech Marin, as well as playing the character Leo on Fox's That '70s Show. Tommy Chong most recently starred in ABC's Dancing with the Stars and continues to be an active proponent of the legalization of marijuana.
As previously mentioned in a press release dated June 19, 2014, the Company's 49% ownership in Cannabis Merchant Financial Solutions, Inc., allows for the development and marketing roll-out of the Tommy Chong Cannabis GreenCard. The Tommy Chong Cannabis GreenCard will be initially marketed to over 1,000 cannabis dispensaries in the Colorado, Washington State and California regions. Following the initial roll-out, all medicinal and recreational cannabis dispensaries will be targeted as prospective customers of the product.
The Company is organizing an extensive online presence and marketing program that will offer customers and distributors of the Tommy Chong Cannabis GreenCard the opportunity to purchase their card, reload their card with additional money, view points earned and track reward eligibility. Being able to offer a solution in the marketplace that will replace the cash-only component to the cannabis industry is expected to generate significant demand for the Tommy Chong Cannabis GreenCard.
"We have made significant progress in developing a product that will benefit cannabis dispensary owners. We look forward to bringing our product to market and capturing a significant portion of this thriving industry," commented Mr. Kurt Martig, President of Cannabis Merchant Financial Solutions, Inc.
"We're pleased to have entered into an agreement with Chongson and look forward to working alongside Mr. Tommy Chong and his team in bringing the Tommy Chong Cannabis GreenCard to market," commented Mr. Henry Fong, President and CEO of FastFunds Financial Corporation.
The Company believes that recurring revenues can be derived from its ownership in Cannabis Merchant Financial Solutions, Inc. and the Tommy Chong branded Cannabis GreenCard product. Given the numerous transactions that take place within the cannabis industry within retail environments on a daily basis, processing fees are expected to cumulatively multiply as the industry itself grows and matures.
Additional information will be released to shareholders of the Company pertaining to this development in the coming weeks.

Dutch Rolling Company, FUTUROLA Celebrates U.S. Expansion with Release of Tommy Chong Signature Line of Smoke Accessories
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 12, 2014
Legendary writer/actor/comedian Tommy Chong of the Grammy Award-winning comedic duo Cheech & Chong, and 2014 competitor in ABC’s Dancing with the Stars has inked his first-ever international co-branding deal with Europe’s top purveyor of roll-your-own smoke accessories, Futurola, to introduce premium Dutch rolling equipment to the expanding U.S. market.
Headquartered in “the smoker’s capital of the world,” Amsterdam, Netherlands, Futurola opened its first U.S. branch office in early 2014 to bring its line of high-quality smoke accessories to legal medical marijuana patients and American smoke enthusiasts nationwide. The collaboration, which unites Europe’s top brand of smoker’s equipment with America’s most famous toker, will feature a co-branded collection of roll-your-own essentials including fine, handcrafted rolling papers, herb grinders and Futurola’s patented rolling machine -- the only device on the market which rolls cone-shaped cigarettes, the preferred style in Dutch coffee shop culture.
Futurola’s exclusive line of Tommy Chong smoke accessories are expected to begin hitting medical marijuana dispensaries and smoke shops in both Europe and the U.S. as early as November, coinciding with a special promotional event showcasing the collection at the 2014 High Times Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam, November 23-27, 2014.

Tommy Chong Explains His Suggestive Remark on Dancing with the Stars
Tommy Chong was hysterical last night. After his second dance, he was asked how it was dancing with the two girls. He said it was "very hard."
This isn't the first time Tommy slipped a sexually suggestive comment by the censors. A few weeks ago, he said that after his dance, there wasn't a dry seat in the house.

"The MEDL Mobile team brings invaluable consumer engagement expertise to BBK, and together we will ensure that our clients have the tools required for optimal patient partnerships."
"As a pioneer in this space, we have seen the impact of mobile applications across every industry, from retail to entertainment -- and bringing the power of the mobile experience to healthcare is particularly satisfying," said Dave Swartz, MEDL President and Chief Creative Officer.

Cheech and Chong Get Doug with High
Comedian, Doug Benson, was finally able to get Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong on his show, Getting Doug with High. Shockingly, Cheech and Tommy are actually friends now. When they first reunited, they would take separate planes and wouldn't even talk backstage.
Tommy couldn't smoke because he promised his Dancing with the Stars trainer, Peta, that he wouldn't. However, Cheech didn't have any qualms lighting up.
Doug is awesome and this is a really great interview.

This is great. Tommy Chong got enough votes to make it onto Dancing with the Stars Week 3.
In case you missed it, he ripped his shirt off during tonight's interview. Erin Andrews looked at his hard nipples and asked if he was cold. He asked "you wanna touch my nipples."
Classic!
And in the AfterBuzz interview, he says, in not so many words, that his Salsa gets the ladies wet.

Tommy Chong Survives Week One of DWTS
Last night, Tommy Chong surprised everyone with how good he can dance. The judges gave him six and sevens.
People are calling Tommy the sexiest man in America. The media is calling him Rico Suave.
The voters agreed. He survived this week's vote and he's so good, he may survive next week, too. I guess the salsa lessons with his wife, Shelby, paid off.

Lots of Photos and Video from Dancing with the Stars Cast Reveal
Today, the cast of this season's Dancing with the Stars was announced on ABC-TV's Good Morning America. As we revealed last month, Tommy Chong is one of the contestants.
The line-up was announced at approximately 8:30AM New York in a closed GMA studio to avoid having a mob of people crashing into the glass. Then, at 8:50AM the cast came into Times Square for a quick hello before the show sign-off.Tommy Chong was looking dapper.
Afterwards, everyone was escorted back into the building and out the back entranceway...into the Dancing with the Stars bus.
Most of the cast came into town last night. Tommy said he was going to visit A/K/A Tommy Chong Director, Josh Gilbert, who has been battling cancer.
Here are photos and video from us here at Cheech and Chong Fans Dot Com. In addition, we've included some video from television interviews.
Tommy Chong Dancing with the Stars Reveal
Today on Good Morning America, the Dancing with the Stars cast was revealed. As we reported last month, Tommy Chong is one of the competitors.
The reveal was made on the second floor of the GMA studios. However, everyone came out for the last few minutes of the show.
We have no idea how Tommy will be able to rehearse all week and fly to Cheech and Chong gigs on weekends. Maybe, this will help ticket sales.
We have tons of photos and videos so keep checking back.

Hemp-infused Cheech & Chong Relaxation Ice Cream Set for US Launch
Relaxation Solutions, a subsidiary of Bebida Beverage Company (BeBevCo), has partnered with 80s comedy duo Cheech and Chong to launch a hemp-infused relaxation ice cream in the US.
Cheech and Chong’s Nice Dreams Ice Cream, named after the 1981 film in which Cheech and Chong (played by Richard ‘Cheech’ Marin and Tommy Chong) make millions of dollar selling marijuana while disguised as ice cream vendors, contains “a high level of supplements” around 5mg of hemp per half pint serving.
“If you ate half a pint, it would be very effective,” Brian Weber, CEO of BeBevCo told DairyReporter.com.
Weber dreamed up the product, which comes in Chillin’ Chocolate and Groovy Vanilla variations, in 2009. He imagined a product that combined ice cream with BeBevCo’s own Koma Unwind relaxation drink.
“The concept came to me while I was sat on the sofa eating ice cream,” he said
“Relaxation and after-dinner ice cream just seem like a good marriage to me.”
Set on developing the concept, Weber decided to “latch on to a recognizable brand” and thought no further than Cheech and Chong.
“I just reached out to them,” he said. “Within a couple of hours I had an email from their team. Within two or three days we had come to an agreement.”
The licensing agreement secured by Relaxation Solutions enables it to use the Cheech and Chong brand for three years. After this, Relaxation Solutions has the option to renew the license for a further five years.
US launch
Weber expects the product, which will initially be available in pint tubs, to hit the US market “in the next four or five weeks.”
“We have just signed off on everything. The functionality has been approved. We’re ready to go, and we have a number of people that are keen to distribute it,” he said.
“We have had interest from distributors in the Northeast, on the East Coast, in Arizona, and Colorado.”
“And I suspect that California, where these guys are still big Hollywood stars, will come around quickly as well.”
Once on shelves, Weber added that Relaxation Solutions will consider other pack sizes, such as an on-the-go 4oz single serve tub.
“I am absolutely confident we will do well with this product,” he said. “They’re on royalties as well, so the better we do, the better they do.”
Hemp infused Cheech & Chong relaxation ice cream set for US launch
Cheech and Chong’s Nice Dreams Ice Cream is named after the duo’s 1981 movie.
Tranquil Moments
Already confident of the success of Cheech and Chong Nice Dreams Ice Cream, Weber revealed that Relaxation Solutions plans to market an own-brand version brand called Tranquil Moments in the US “in February or March of next year.”
He then dismissed concerns about the potential for competition in its newly-formed category from US ice cream giants such as Ben & Jerry’s.
“Ben & Jerry’s could make it,” said Weber. “They have more money than us, but I think they would have trouble peddling it.”
“But in time I can imagine a big company saying, ‘We have the distribution.We have a bite of your ice cream; you have a bite of ours’.”

"We are so excited to bring the Cheech and Chong brand to a Chillaxation drink(R)," announced BeBevCo CEO Brian Weber. "The drink will use natural supplements, natural flavors and sweeteners as well as a dose of Hemp.
"We feel as a company we are now rounded off in our products. Cheech and Chong Chillaxation drink(R) will be more of a head-to-head competitor to the popular Marley's Mellow Mood demographic, whereas the demographic of our premium KOMA Unwind product is more mainstream of those looking to relax, reduce stress or sleep better," Weber added.
Daisy Ramirez, BeBevCo chief operating officer, added, "My first thought was 'how much more can we take on?' However after looking at the market trends, the power of the Cheech and Chong brand and realizing that we will have two of the biggest names in the Liquid Relaxation drinks, the decision was easy.
"Of course, having a complete infrastructure doesn't hurt. The shareholders we have that understand the mission and know our team have been amazingly supportive. They are as confident as we are that Bebida Beverage Company can have global sales in the hundreds of millions in the not too distant future, " she concluded.

Noble Subsidiary Enters Letter of Intent to Acquire Tommy Chong Endorsed - Canna-Saver.com
Jun 05, 2014 (ACCESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Toronto, ON / ACCESSWIRE / June 5, 2014 / Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. (the "Company", "Noble" or "NOB") CA:NOB -12.50% (otc.pk:NLPXF) is pleased to announce that it has signed a non-binding Letter of Intent whereby its wholly owned subsidiary ("Noble Subsidiary"), would acquire a 50% interest in Canna-Saver.LLC ("Canna-Saver"), with a right to acquire the remaining 50% interest upon completion of certain conditions. It is Noble's intention that the subsidiary would become a separate public company with a listing on a Canadian and US stock exchange or market place, and Noble would distribute to its existing shareholders a unit of Noble Subsidiary that would be comprised of one share and 1/4 of a warrant, with each full warrant being exercisable at $0.20 into a share of Noble Subsidiary. These units would be distributed pro rata to the shareholders of Noble at a ration that, based on Noble's current capitalization, is expected to give rise to approximately 1 unit of the Noble Subsidiary distributed for every 6 shares of Noble currently outstanding.
Canna-Saver.com was the first website in the world to focus solely on cannabis coupons and deals catered to the marijuana demographic that has emerged as a result of marijuana decriminalization and legalization in certain parts of the US and the world. In less than a year, Canna-Saver has exceeded all industry expectations to become one of the most recognized brands in the Cannabis industry. The Canna-Saver trademarked logo has grown to represent the industry standard for marijuana coupons and deals. The company is based in Denver, Colorado, and recently won a Cannabis Industry business award for invention of the year. Canna-Saver has been hailed as the "Groupon of Marijuana" on CNN's Outfront with Erin Burnett, highlighted on Fox News, and in High Times Magazine. The founder of the company, Brian Shapiro has been called the Coupon Don and named the inventor of the marijuana coupon. The company now intends to expand into the California and Washington State markets and will be actively seeking additional acquisitions in this space.
Canna-Saver also has an Agreement with Tommy Chong, a well known comedian, movie star, and long time advocate for marijuana use. The agreement calls for Tommy Chong to act as the key spokesperson for the Canna-Saver.com web platform and to perform other duties to increase brand awareness for Canna- Saver.
Regarding the transaction, Mr. Vance White, President of Noble, stated: "We are extremely pleased with this new business relationship as it will provide Noble Mineral Exploration Inc.'s existing shareholders, through the unit distribution, an opportunity to participate in a new industry with what we believe will have very strong growth potential."
Regarding the transaction, Mr Brian Shapiro Founder and CEO of Canna-Saver stated: "We are very excited to form this new business relationship which we feel will be instrumental in our efforts to expand our platform and services into other markets, as well as to acquire synergistic acquisitions in the marijuana industry. We believe that we're at the beginning stage of an explosive market, with tremendous growth potential--especially as more and more states in the US become involved."
Following the execution of its Letter of Intent with Canna-Saver, Noble will now work to complete its due diligence of Canna-Saver, to negotiate and enter into definitive agreements for the transactions outlined in
the Letter of Intent, to otherwise to embark upon the steps outlined in the Letter of Intent and to obtain all regulatory and stock exchange approvals. For the time being, the Letter of Intent remains non-binding.
Noble Minerals will continue to focus its attention on the vast mineral potential of its Project 81 - Block A land holdings in the Timmins-Cochrane district and its Holdsworth Gold Oxide Sand project in the Wawa district. Both projects are located in Northern Ontario, and Noble will continue to work to advance the exploration of this property though initiatives that Noble hopes will include joint venture arrangements with senior exploration and mining partners.

New WAR Album Features Cheech and Chong
On May 19th, the legendary and groundbreaking group, WAR, will release their first new studio album in 20 years, titled EVOLUTIONARY, on Far Out Records/UMe. Available on 2CD and digitally, the package includes the new EVOLUTIONARY album and WAR's digitally remastered, multi-Platinum GREATEST HITS collection, originally released in 1976 and never before released digitally or on CD.
Featuring special guest collaborations with Cheech & Chong, Tower of Power, Joe Walsh, Malik Yusef, and the USC Marching Band, EVOLUTIONARY showcases WAR's multi-ethnic lineup and genre-defying style, combining jazz, rock, funk, soul, R&B and Latin. The band also announced U.S. tour dates starting March 20, including co-headlining performances with Cheech & Chong at The Joint at Las Vegas' Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on May 16 and at Los Angeles' Greek Theatre on May 24 (see confirmed dates below).
Produced by Jerry Goldstein and Lonnie Jordan, the new set touches on WAR's L.A. roots, while also updating the band's classic sound for a new generation of fans. EVOLUTIONARY was recorded at Total Access Studios in Redondo Beach, California by WAR founding member/vocalist Lonnie Jordan, percussionist Marcos Reyes, guitarist Stuart Ziff, bassist Francisco "Pancho" Tomaselli, drummer Sal Rodriguez, saxophonist/flautist David Urquidi, and harmonica player Stanley Behrens.
EVOLUTIONARY includes the autobiographical first single, "That L.A. Sunshine," featuring Cheech & Chong, who memorably used WAR's "Low Rider" in their movie debut, Up in Smoke. Cheech & Chong and WAR are co-headlining the ongoing "Up In Smoke Tour."
The album also includes "Mamacita," which revisits the band's Latin heritage and the Hollywood streets that inspired them accompanied by special guest Joe Walsh on guitar and the Tower of Power horns. "Inspiration," a song set to a Lonnie Jordan-penned poem, celebrates the band's unique relationship with its fervent fan base. Additionally, five-time GRAMMY winner and member of Kanye West's G.O.O.D. posse, Malik Yusef brings his hip-hop pedigree to the smooth R&B ballad, "Outer Space," the "Low Rider" sample of "Bounce," and the gospel choir on "Everything." Yusef also contributes the rap to Motown writers Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong's "War" (a hit for Edwin Starr), which also features the famed USC Trojan Marching Band.
WAR is the quintessential Los Angeles street band, first discovered by producer/writer Jerry Goldstein in a North Hollywood club. Eric Burdon and WAR burst onto the charts with the classic worldwide hit "Spill The Wine." Burdon and WAR toured extensively across the United States and Europe, until Burdon departed the band during the tour. The tour continued and the band returned to Los Angeles to record their first album as WAR. The rest is history.
WAR has achieved 31 Gold, Platinum and Multi-Platinum RIAA sales honors, 11 Top 10 pop hits, and 15 Top 10 R&B hits, including "Low Rider," "Spill The Wine," "Why Can't We Be Friends," "The Cisco Kid," "The World is a Ghetto," "Gypsy Man," and "Summer."
Over the years, WAR's songs have been sampled by a broad range of artists, including the Beastie Boys, George Clinton, The Geto Boys, Ice Cube, Ice-T, Janet Jackson, Method Man, Redman, Smash Mouth, Tupac Shakur, Barry White, ZZ Top, Portishead, Korn, and many more.
Songs from the group's legendary catalog have been featured on the soundtracks for several hit movies, including Lethal Weapon, Boogie Nights, and Gone in 60 Seconds, popular TV shows "Beverly Hills 90210," "My Name Is Earl," and "The Simpsons," and best-selling video games "Grand Theft Auto IV" and "Skate 2."

SCHECTER GUITARS ANNOUNCES “CHEECH AND CHONG” LIMITED EDITION GUITARS
(May 6th, 2014 Sun Valley, CA) – Schecter Guitar Research and the iconic duo known as “Cheech and Chong” are set to produce a limited number of graphic guitars to be created and sold under the Schecter Guitar brand. The Grammy Award winning comedy team started entertaining audiences back in the early 70’s with their hilarious stand up pot smoking comedy routines, which led to their eventual movie success a few years later.
Over the past 25 years Cheech and Chong have produced multiple albums along with controversial movies that centered on the comedic use of Marijuana and the love of the rock-n-roll lifestyle. “There is no better time than now to create such a great line of collectable guitars; especially considering that states have now legalized Marijuana for medical, and recreational purposes” says Allen Steelgrave, Director of Marketing/Artist Relations for Schecter Guitars.
The iconic team has been nominated for several awards over their careers; finally winning the Grammy for best comedy album in 1973, the duo went on to produce more than 8 films and 9 albums.
One thing that can’t be denied is that Cheech and Chong will always be known for their satirical take on the party life-style. Look out for the guitars to hit stores by mid summer. The first series will be available only through Sam Ash locations.

Tommy Chong to Join Pot Shop in Pueblo County
PUEBLO COUNTY, Colo. - Marijuana activist and comedian Tommy Chong will be joining the ranks of marijuana business owners. Chong will have a stake in Marisol Therapeutics.
Mike Stetler, owner of the retail marijuana store, said the details of the business deal still need to be negotiated. Chong visited Marisol Therapeutics in January during the first week of legal retail pot sales.
Stetler said he's thinking of renaming the store Marisol Chong. Chong is well-known for his Cheech & Chong movies. Stetler told KRDO NewsChannel 13 he's excited to team up with a household name.
"He's mister marijuana and I think he deserves it if anybody does deserve it because he's been in this so-called fight for as long as I've known," Stetler said.
Chong will be at Marisol Therapeutics on Saturday. A big crowd is expected ahead of 4/20 celebrations.
Note from the Editor: Mike Stetler really should speak to other people who have had past business relationships with Tommy Chong.

Cheech and Chong Nice Dreams Ice Cream Coming Soon
STATESVILLE, N.C., March 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Bebida Beverage Company (OTC: BBDA),
(BeBevCo), a developer, manufacturer and marketer of relaxation and energy products, is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Relaxation Solutions, Inc. (RSI), has secured a multi-year licensing agreement to brand its new-to-market line of Relaxation Ice Cream utilizing powerhouse icons, Cheech and Chong, and their classic movie," Cheech & Chong's Nice Dreams" for a branding opportunity never before seen in this market space.
The hemp and supplement-infused frozen treats will come in two appropriately named flavors: Chillin' Chocolate(TM) and Groovy Vanilla(TM).
Under the licensing agreement, RSI will launch 'Nice Dreams', a delicious relaxation ice cream named after the blockbuster duo's 1981 hit film. Brian Weber, CEO of BeBevCo, opined, "What could be a better example of what we are doing than a film about two enterprising young men who make an amazing amount of money selling ice cream. And that's exactly what we plan to do with Cheech and Chong's Nice Dreams Relaxation Ice Cream."
"I'm sure many would agree that Cheech and Chong were pioneers in alternative relaxation methods. What better ambassadors are there to bring relaxation frozen treats to the forefront of the consumer mind than these two popular characters."
Company executives are confident that creative licensing launched with the flagship brand, Cheech and Chong's Nice Dreams Relaxation Ice Cream, will impact RSI similarly to Ben & Jerry's of Relaxation Frozen Treats. Ben & Jerry's is at $132 million in annual sales as of April 4, 2012, according to StatisticBrain.com.
Likewise, the brand lends itself well to consumers interested in the multi-billion dollar Cannabis and
Medical Marijuana markets. "Prospective buyers have already proclaimed this as a brilliant play in an ever-growing sector," adds Weber. "I'm sanguine with the opportunity this provides us as a top contender in global markets in taking BeBevCo and its subsidiaries to the next level."
Several other executive and distribution announcements will be made in the very near future.
