The first movie of six which we follow the two dope heads "Pedro De Pacas" (Cheech Marin) and Anthony 'Man' Stoner (Tommy Chong) on their adventures, I think this is the funniest of the "Cheech & Chong" series.
In this movie they have to drive a van made of marijuana over the Mexican border to the United States to get back in time to battle of the band contest, and they don't know that the van completely made of Marijuana.
Similar Dope-movies must be "Half Baked" and "How High" that all must have been inspired from this movie even though i don't like those new dope movies, I would also recommend rest of the "Cheech & Chong" movies.
