Tommy Chong's Deleted Paraphernalia Website
(The Memory Hole)
On 24 February 2003 five federal agencies busted 50+ individuals allegedly involved in businesses that sell drug paraphernalia, such as bongs and pipes.

Tommy Chong--best known for his stoner movies with Cheech Marin--was among those targeted in Operations Pipe Dreams and Headhunter. His home was raided, and the feds seized all the smoking paraphernalia from his business, Chong Glass. He wasn't indicted at the time. For reasons not explained, Chong was not mentioned in the Justice Department's press release, and his Website was allowed to remain online. The Websites of the other people caught up in the sweep were quickly pulled offline by the DEA (but you can still see them on TheMemoryHole.org).

On 13 May 2003, Chong pled guilty to conspiring to sell drug paraphernalia. [Read more through the above link.] He faces up to three years in the clink and a $250,000 maximum fine.

At the time of the raids, The Memory Hole downloaded the Chong Glass site for safekeeping. Sure enough, at some point by the time Chong pled guilty, the Website disappeared. Above you will find thumbnails and full images of every piece that Chong offered (all of which were created by his company).
