CHEECH AND CHONG “NICE DREAM” ICE CREAM

This veteran stoner duo has ingested cannabis in every way imaginable, so of course their favorite
treat would be a dish so decadent you’ll dream about it every night.
Getting stoned off of ice cream sounds like a late-night fantasy spawned by some killer bong sessions.
But lo and behold, it’s not an impossible dream, like the mythical beer smoothie or absinthe popsicle
—ganja ice cream is easy to make and it tastes great! All you need is a dream, some dank herb, and
an ice-cream maker, which we have invested in. How else could we re-create the infamous frozen
dessert from the 1981 movie Nice Dreams?
Marijuana-laced ice cream is integral to the plot of this madcap stoner comedy, where we find
Cheech and Chong working at an ice-cream stand named “Happy Herb’s Nice Dreams.” In the movie,
experimental marijuana from a character named Weird Jimmy is transformed into the aforementioned
ice cream, which Cheech and Chong then sell, making tons of loot and meeting hot girls. Spoiler alert:
The pair have stoned misadventures while being chased by Sergeant Stedanko, get trapped in a mental
hospital, and end up working in a strip club.
After watching the movie, we were so intrigued by the imaginary iced concoction that we just had to
try to make some for ourselves. After much experimenting with cannabis, we stumbled upon a reallife
recipe for “Nice Dream” Ice Cream from the wonderful folks at the Wo/Men’s Alliance for
Medical Marijuana (Wamm.org). So get a DVD of Nice Dreams and watch it while you enjoy a bowl
of its namesake dessert. Better yet, invite a bunch of friends over and make it an ice-cream social!
