The duo had plans to reunite for another film when Tommy Chong's California-based company, Chong's Bongs, was raided by federal officials on February 25, 2003, as part of a federal crackdown on "drug-related paraphernalia."
Tommy Chong pleaded guilty to charges of distributing drug paraphernalia in May and on September 11, 2003, was sentenced to nine months in federal prison, fined US$20,000, and forced to forfeit US$120,000 in assets. He served the time between October 8, 2003 and July 7, 2004.
With Chong released, the duo planned to resume production on their latest opus. A variety of titles were rumored, including Grumpy Old Stoners.
Cheech and Chong announced on September 8, 2005 that the reunion film had been canceled. In a 2007 interview, Chong hinted that the reunion may be back on.
On July 30, 2008, the team reunited to publicly announce their fall comedy tour, titled "Light It Up America/Canada". This announcement was made at a press conference in Philadelphia, USA, the first U.S. city on their tour. Ottawa,_ON, was the first city worldwide on September 5th, 2008.
