Up in Smoke is now streaming on Netflix, so coming off our two-part 4/20 special we decided to re-post this classic episode. 
Great Moments in Weed History will be back next week (April 30) with an all new episode! But for now, kick back, relax, roll up a comically oversized joint, and join Abdullah and Bean for the story of when Cheech met Chong.

Everybody knows Cheech and Chong as the world’s ultimate stoner icons, but how did they rise from obscure road comics to writing, directing and starring in one of the most influential movies of all time?
In 1967 in Vancouver, Canada, a draft resister from East LA named Richard Marin met a musician named Thomas Chong - whose family owned a local burlesque house. Fusing their comedic super powers in a crucible fueled by love for weed and improv, Cheech and Chong grew from performing in between burlesque acts, to Grammy-nominated comedians, leaving one world left to conquer: Hollywood.
Up in Smoke may not be the first ever stoner comedy, but it’s the one that changed popular entertainment forever. And if you’re asking yourself “How Did This GetMade?,” rest assured that it happened in the most Cheech and Chong way possible.
And Abdullah and Bean try to piece together the many ways that Up in Smoke predicted the future, despite having a plot that barely makes sense.
