If more people were stoned there would be less violence in the world.

I've always known, all my life, that I was going to be something special. I never knew what it was, but I always had that feeling. I think my mother installed it when I was a little guy.

Cheech [Marine] on the other hand, met [Barack] Obama and he knew right away who Cheech was. So that should tell you something.

Look at all the drug busts all over the country. There must be an audience there somewhere. My feeling is that if we're losing the war on drugs, let's do a movie for the enemy.

We have never been big smokers, neither Cheech [Marine] nor I. We were too creative, and we had a lot to do. We are actors and to be honest, I am the type of person that can reference a thought or a smell and get high.

Something good always happens at 4:20 for me.

Everything that happens to me is very cosmic.
