Actor Tommy Chong served prison time.

The statement "Actor Tommy Chong served prison time" is true. In 2003, Tommy Chong was sentenced to nine months in federal prison for selling drug paraphernalia over the internet. This occurred as a result of a federal crackdown on companies selling drug paraphernalia, and Chong's business, Nice Dreams Enterprises, was targeted even though it was operated by his son. Despite the controversial nature of his sentence, Chong completed his prison term and has since continued his successful career in acting and comedy.
