The Crown Princes of Cannabis Comedy – Cheech Marin and Canadian born Tommy Chong – are bringing their unique brand of dope humour back to North America – including dates in Canada.

Cheech & Chong: Get It Legal! tour is the follow-up to their hugely successful reunion tour, Cheech & Chong: Light Up America reunion tour.

Live Nation reports that the duo is scheduled to make 17 stops across North America including Canadian stops in Saskatoon at TCU Place Jan. 30 and Regina at Conexus Arts Centre Jan. 31.

More dates are expected to be announced soon.

The “Cheech and Chong: Get It Legal!” tour kicks off in Boulder, Colorado at the Macky Auditorium Jan. 16.

Other North American cities include Indianapolis, Baltimore, Bellingham, Portland, Santa Barbara, Tampa, Minneapolis, Rockford, Detroit, Louisville, DC, Bakersfield, Phoenix, and Fort Worth.

Chong's wife and comedy partner, Shelby Chong, will open all dates on the tour as well as DJ-Joey Mojo.

The comedy team is teaming up with the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) to focus attention on “the harm caused by marijuana prohibition and the urgent need for different, more sensible marijuana law” and to promote policy change through laughter.

Presale tickets for fan club members are available on Nov 23 and regular tickets will be available on Nov 27

Cheech and Chong will release live DVD called “Cheech and Chong’s Hey Watch This” in April 2010.
