Tommy Chong began performing with Cheech again in 2008, and the two have continued to perform since. When Cheech was asked by CBS News in 2017 to elaborate on reuniting with his old friend, he said, "We came to the conclusion we don't have to love or hate each other, which we do both. And it's just, we have a business."
Things have worked out for the best, with the duo finding success in multiple areas. The two launched a chain of Cheech & Chong-branded marijuana dispensaries in 2020 (via Forbes.) From their official website, they sell a variety products, such as rolling paper, incense, T-shirts, hand pipes, beard oil, water pipes, posters, and more.
From performing stand-up routines to being weed activists, the pair has really come far over the years. Cheech also pointed out to CBS News that pot being widely accepted has really helped their business. "I remember one time we were doing this big show in Detroit, and drunk white guys in suits were trying to get on the stage. Like how this has really changed!"
