With the wealth of 4/20 events going on in town tomorrow, it could be a challenge deciding which one(s) to attend. We’ve already put in a plug for the premiere of the Tommy Chong documentary. Here’s another event notice, which we just received from YesUCannabis.com, for the premiere of the groundbreaking new documentary How Weed Won the West:


Happy 4/20!

This qualifies as a must-see:

On 4/20/10 the Downtown Independent Theater will premiere the documentary aka Tommy Chong

The film takes us back to the Bush administration’s arrest and imprisonment of Tommy Chong for selling bongs. This is the story of the government’s case, its effects on Chong, and the politics behind it all. Directed by Josh Gilbert, the film has won awards from the Toronto International Film Festival, the San Francisco Independent Film Festival, High Times, and others.

After the screening, head up to a roof party with beer, pizza, and music. Partygoing ticket-holders can also participate in a raffle to win the bong featured in the documentary (valued at $1000) and various gift certificates. Some of the proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to NORML.

The Downtown Independent Theater is located at 251 S. Main Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012, 213-617-1033. For more information, check out akatommychong.com and downtownindependent.com.
