Cheech and Chong have got some pretty blunt advice for Prime Minister Stephen Harper when it comes to Canada's marijuana's laws.

"Wise up, you douchebag," Cheech Marin says with some glee when asked what he'd tell the prime minister.
Chong, who hails from Edmonton, nods in agreement.

The team of tokers is miffed that Canadian authorities, after nearly decriminalizing pot a few years ago, have made a 180-degree policy shift which culminated in a rash of recent marijuana arrests.

"I would tell Stephen Harper to let go of George Bush's butt," Chong chimes in. "Your head's too far up there. Get your head out of his butt. He's gone. George is gone. He's history, Stephen."

Words of wisdom from those seemingly ageless stoners:

"For some reason, we're timeless," marvels Tommy Chong.

"Yeah, we're like the immigration problem. We're never going to go away," pledges Richard (Cheech) Marin.

Right they are. Cheech and Chong, credited by many with creating the stoner genre of film and comedy, have been sparking together, and apart, for more than 40 years. Clearly, the pot hasn't killed them or their careers.

Back when I was working on the Nash Bridges show, Cheech Marin hired me to create these cartoons that were reflective of key events in his career. As far as I know, they were never actually used for anything other than a proof of concept for the publisher. But it was a fun project, and Cheech is one of the most fun clients I’ve ever worked with. Yes, he is funny even when he’s serious!

Promoting "change through laughter," and saying that marijuana laws are so ridiculous you have to laugh at them," Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong debated Ann Coulter on Geraldo at Large.

"That's what 'Up in Smoke' was all about!' says Chong. Geraldo suggests that they want to get the issue onto the front burner--so to speak. Cheech says he would like to have marijuana changed from Schedule 1 to Schedule II- available only by prescription. Coulter says there are already problems with alcohol, namely alcoholics, and this would be like letting a genie out of a bottle.

In a puff of smoke, they were gone for 25 years. But on Tuesday (4/20 to fans of pot culture), Cheech and Chong, those aging icons of stoner comedy, will be everywhere — in theaters, video on demand, DVD, even on iTunes, PlayStations and Xboxes.

Did that just blow your mind?

"They're always looking for new methods of how to look for an audience," says Cheech Marin, 65, of the Weinstein Co.'s multiplatform release of the duo's new concert film, "Cheech and Chong's Hey Watch This." Though the film will play theatrically just the one day, it's the home entertainment segment that is the key attraction. "In a dwindling market for DVDs, we're doing very well, the initial reports say. Big orders," Marin says.
