Potheads Cheech and Chong end up being deported to Mexico. Desperate to get back to the US, they unknowingly smuggle a van made entirely out of marijuana across the border. Pursued by the feds, the two stoners get into a series of scrapes.

Film Trivia

• The car that Cheech drives at the beginning of this film was owned by Jack Nicholson.
• The dog that eats the burrito after it is thrown on the floor was a stray dog that wandered on to the set and walked off with the food. Both Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong ad-libbed their dialogue around this.
• Director Lou Adler screened this film privately for Jack Nicholson. Nicholson, who had a dislocated shoulder at the time, describes watching the film as a painful experience because his arm hurt from laughing so much.
• The extras playing the Hare Krishna's were paid $25 each to shave their heads.
