Cheech & Chong: Icons of Stoner Culture. Spotlighted in Blazed Magazine’s May/June 2025 Issue

The May/June 2025 edition of Blazed Magazine pays homage to the legendary comedic duo Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong, featuring cover art inspired by their latest cinematic venture, Cheech & Chong’s Last Movie. This tribute underscores their enduring influence on both mainstream and cannabis cultures spanning the 1970s through the 1990s.

Rising to prominence in the 1970s, Cheech & Chong became synonymous with countercultural humor, delivering iconic performances in films like Up in Smoke, Nice Dreams, and Still Smokin’. Their unique blend of satire and advocacy played a pivotal role in bringing cannabis culture into the public discourse.

Fast forward to today, the duo continues to innovate within the cannabis industry. Their latest product lines, High & Dry THC-infused seltzers and High Tea THC-infused iced teas, are now available at Total Wine locations across Texas. Flavors such as Magic Mule, Raspberry Highball, and Cheech’s Peaches offer consumers a modern, alcohol-free way to enjoy cannabis-infused beverages.

To celebrate these launches, Cheech & Chong are hosting an exclusive meet-and-greet event:

Date: Wednesday, May 14, 2025

Time: 2:20 PM – 4:20 PM

Location: Total Wine & More, 9350 N. Central Expressway, Dallas, TX 75231

Fans can secure a spot by purchasing any Cheech & Chong beverage (High & Dry or High Tea) at any Total Wine location in Texas prior to the event and presenting the receipt or a clear photo of it. The first 250 attendees will receive a limited-edition signed poster and a photo opportunity with the duo.

Cheech & Chong’s continued contributions to entertainment and cannabis culture exemplify their lasting legacy and commitment to innovation.

Each can be heard on previous podcast of the Texas Hemp Show Podcast.

SB 3 on Senate Intent Calendar

Written by Jay Maguire on March 17, 2025. Posted in Legislative.

SB 3 is on the Texas Senate Intent Calendar for tomorrow, meaning it is eligible for debate and a vote, but that doesn’t guarantee it will be taken up. The Senate convenes at 11 a.m., and the agenda is expected to be full, with multiple bills prioritized for consideration.

Notably, SB 3 is one of at least five bills flagged as high-priority by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and could be brought to the floor at his discretion. Because the Lieutenant Governor controls floor recognition, if he decides tomorrow is the day to push forward new regulations on THC, the Senate will take it up accordingly.

That said, I fully expect it to pass through the Senate like shit through a goose—a foregone conclusion given the current political landscape. As we have always known, the real battle lies in the House, where the dynamics are far less predictable, and the outcome may ultimately be decided.

For clarity, since some have asked, this “emergency” designation is political, not constitutional. Some have asked whether this means SB 3 is one of the Governor’s emergency items, which are the only bills that can be voted on in the first 60 days of the 140-day session. It is not—Gov. Abbott did not designate SB 3 as an emergency under the Texas Constitution. Instead, its placement on the Intent Calendar simply means it is eligible for immediate action if Senate leadership chooses to move it forward.
