Religion is run by thought police. 'Obey. Listen. This is what you do. Don't ask questions. Go die for your country.' The spirituality says, 'Okay, you can die for your country, but know what you're doing while you're doing it.'
Tommy Chong

Tommy Chong
[Donald Trump] is a true republican: he is hypocritical and two-faced, he's a liar, a cheat, and a thief and the more he speaks, the more his real character shows.
Tommy Chong
When you hit a groove, it's not you it's the spirit world. The spirits whisper the ideas in your brain and prod you along. They're the ones that are really happy.
Tommy Chong
You can't become a dictator through checks and balances.
