Sweet Stoned St.Vitus! We should all be so blessed to have moves like Chong at any point in our lives, let alone in our Seventies, after a bout of cancer and prison. On the greener side of things was Tommy Chong, who rolled onto the set with his comedy partner, Cheech Marin. The 76-year-old bluntly told TIME magazine recently that hes hoping to give his career another boost with DWTS, along with his dream of becoming the poster boy for the marijuana community. Medical marijuana is my passion in life. I went for jail for my beliefs. Now that were getting legal, I want to focus on the benefits of medical marijuana -- it helps little children with epilepsy and MS, and it helped me with my cancer, Chong said. And while Dancing with the Stars wont allow him to show pot leaves or bongs, Chong continued, they have Tommy Chong, who really is a pot leaf. So when he made his entrance during Mondays show, it was no accident that Chong and his partner, Peta Murgatroyd, were wearing so much green. (Peta, my partner, Chong told Time, is going to look like a little marijuana bud.) The verdant pair did a cha-cha to Snoop Doggs Drop It Like Its Hot, much to the delight of the judges, who awarded them 27 points.
