“So much fun—it should be illegal!” That's not anyone’s review, that’s a capsule blurb on the cover of a book. Cheech And Chong’s Next Movie book, to be precise, a 144-page paperback illustrated with stills from the film of the same name. Which, in turn, should not be confused with Let’s Make A New Dope Deal, the new Cheech And Chong album on Warner Brothers records, purposefully released just two,weeks prior to the film’s opening, which—coincidentally—with radio airplay will up the film-gross ante by several million Big Ones.

We’re not talking abbut cute little hippies and their drug habits anymore when (and if) we discuss Cheech and Chong. What was once counter-culture is now Over-The-Counter Culture, and of course not only should we have expected it, we should relish it. Because this is what America wants—and the millions this whole film/book/LP project will generate can’t help but prove it.
