I look on everything with a very optimistic eye. Because I'm a body builder by trade, you know, that was my intent all my life.

The funny thing is, Dennis Miller got me back into comedy.

You got a bag of pot, there's someone who wants to buy it from you. So in a weird way, marijuana has [become] and is becoming the new currency of the world.

Marijuana at the time we were making movies [with Cheech Marine] was not that readily available and I do prefer to be coherent when I am working.

More than anything, the weed really helped with my mental state, because marijuana works on the brain. And if anything, it soothes the brain.

You know that old joke about potheads having bad memories? Well, the bad memories are like pain, discomfort, and fear. So you lose all that, and the body reacts by healing faster and stronger.

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.
