Yesterday, Tommy Chong just dropped his semi-autobiography entitled The I Chong: Meditations from the Joint. Staying true to Tommy’s on-screen and off-screen persona, this book isn’t the cookie cutter example of what most would expect from a recounting of one’s life.

Tommy has combined part childhood memior, part jail time experience, and part spiritual advice into something as unique as he is. The book hits personal notes while recounting Tommy’s half Irish / half Chinese heritage. Small things, like the fact he still leaves his doors unlocked even after a massive police raid, give you an endearing glimpse into his personality. Shit, only Tommy Chong can tell you to “enjoy the ride” if you’re going to prison.

This book delves into the life and thoughts behind one of the most influential counter-culture icons of our current time. From having no direction to running an improv group to starring in movies, being an entrepeneuer and going to prison - Tommy Chong has lived a life others can only imagine. Check this book out and experience a life synonymous with counter-culture and the good and bad that comes with it.
