On a typical afternoon in Los Angeles, two friends, Cheech and Chong, spend their time enjoying life and exploring their love for cannabis culture. The story begins when Cheech receives an unexpected call from his girlfriend, telling him to move back home and encouraging him to find a job. However, instead of taking that path, our protagonists decide to embark on a series of absurd and crazy adventures that only they know how to pull off.
During their misadventures, Cheech and Chong encounter a variety of colorful characters, from a wacky group of hippies to a completely wild rock band. Each twist in their journey seems to be more ridiculous than the last, as they try to score some weed and a good dose of fun. The protagonists' lack of responsibility leads them into hilarious situations, including run-ins with the police and misunderstandings in the artistic world of the city.
Meanwhile, their hopes of leading a normal life fade more and more, challenging any notion of what it means to "do the right thing." The film is a crazy and nonsensical ride, packed with comedic moments that reflect the pop culture of the time and a satirical critique of American society. With iconic dialogue and surreal situations, it's a celebration of a love for freedom and friendship, all wrapped in a great touch of stoner humor.
