Oliver says:
Wow, has it really been 40 years? L.A.’s most notorious pro-marijuana duo celebrate the 40th anniversary of the soundtrack from their infamous movie, "Up in Smoke." Alice Bowie was Cheech Marin’s fictional heavy metal persona, and the song has since been covered by Soundgarden and Korn. What would Cheech and Chong look like in a post-legalization California?
