PITTSBURGH (Reuters) - Actor Tommy Chong of the spaced-out, dope-smoking
comedy duo "Cheech & Chong" was sentenced to nine months in prison and fined
$20,000 on Thursday for distributing marijuana pipes over the Internet.
The 65-year-old Canadian-born entertainer, wearing a dark business suit and
shoulder-length hair, asked U.S. District Judge Arthur Schwab for a sentence
of community service, saying in a statement read by his lawyer that he was
not the perpetually stoned loser he portrays in Hollywood films.

"I have a drug problem with marijuana," Chong told the court later, saying
he had overcome dependency through constructive hobbies including learning
to dance the salsa.

But the judge ruled that jail time was appropriate for a felony charge of
conspiring to distribute drug paraphernalia, which Chong pleaded guilty to
last May. Chong will also receive drug treatment behind bars and spend a
year on probation.

Federal sentencing guidelines called for a prison term of six to nine months
and a fine of up to $250,000.
