Spark SomethingStoners of South Florida, this is your night.By Patrice Elizabeth Grell YursikPublished on September 25, 2008 at 3:02amThe generations of stoners born in the Eighties realize one thing from those nostalgic VH1 flashback specials: the THC content in Mary Jane might be stronger now, but man, cats in the Seventies knew how to party. Any Cheech and Chong film from the era proves that. The two avowed potheads apparently didnt suffer from amotivational syndrome between 1972 and 1985, Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong released nine comedy albums (one of which won a Grammy). They also starred in eight feature films, all of which have basically the same plot: Two stoners wind up in a jam, at some point theres an escape from The Man, high jinks ensue, and - voilà our heroes make it out on top with an appropriately hazy grand finale. Who would imagine such a formula would ever get stale? Um, Cheech.
