Cheech Made Chicano Art a Force

Cheech Marin smiles warmly while leaning over a white railing, standing in front of the geometric sculptural facade of The Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art & Culture in Riverside, California. He wears a dark blue shirt. Photo by Carlos Puma, courtesy of Riverside Art Museum, 2022.

Cheech Marin turned weed money into a monument. The Cheech isn’t just a museum, it’s a cultural counterpunch, a stoned out cathedral built for the artists the art world ignored. No permission, no filter, no apologies. This is the untold story of how one rebel flipped the script, lit the fuse, and made Chicano art impossible to erase.

CANNABIS PANIC IN DENVER

A distressed woman holding a joint, with tears on her face, stands in front of a cloudy Denver skyline. A green road sign reading ‘Denver’ and the Colorado state flag appear behind her. A large cannabis leaf and the text ‘Cannabis Panic in Denver’ overlay the image, along with the Pot Culture Magazine logo

Denver’s new “cannabis psychosis” documentary blames weed for mental health crises, but the science tells a different story. Pot Culture Magazine follows the fear machine, exposes the shaky studies, and calls out the system pushing prohibitionist panic. This isn’t about health. It’s about control.

Cheech and Chong’s Last Movie Review: Brotherly Love, Bullsh*t, and the Long Strange Trip Home

A colorful movie poster for “Cheech & Chong’s Last Movie.” The artwork shows Tommy Chong and Cheech Marin sitting in a classic car, smiling and laughing as Chong holds a snack bag. A large silver cannabis leaf hood ornament is centered on the car. The sky is pastel with palm trees, desert hills, and a woman in the background. Text at the top reads “Cheech Marin, Tommy Chong – Cheech & Chong’s Last Movie.” At the bottom: “Exclusively in theaters April 25. Bring a bud & see it first on 4/20!” The license plate reads “KPSMOKN.”

Cheech and Chong’s Last Movie isn’t a stoner flick, it’s a raw, trippy confessional from two counterculture icons who shaped comedy and cannabis forever. With Dave Bushell behind the camera, the film blends archival chaos, animation, and unresolved tension into a story about brotherhood, pain, and legacy. It's not just a documentary. It’s an honest trip home.
