MONTREAL — Cheech and Chong have some blunt advice for Stephen Harper when it comes to Canada's marijuana's laws. They say the prime minister should wise up to the public will, and pull his head out of George Bush's butt. The celebrity tokers are miffed that Canadian authorities, after nearly decriminalizing pot a few years ago, have made a 180-degree policy shift that's led to a lot of recent pot busts. A spokesman for the Prime Minister's Office wasn't immediately available to comment. Richard "Cheech" Marin and Tommy Chong are cultural icons when it comes to doper humour. The stoner counterculture act they created in the 1970s gained them legions of fans around the world.
