Tommy Chong says any attempts by President Trump to crack down on recreational marijuana “will be defeated in court” just “like the failed Muslim ban.”

The pot advocate, of “Cheech & Chong” fame, wrote to his more than 370,000 Twitter followers on Thursday:

Of course Trump is going after legal marijuana but like the failed Muslim ban it will be defeated in court. Don't worry stay High — Tommy Chong (@tommychong) February 23, 2017

Chong’s message came hours after White House press secretary Sean Spicer indicated the Trump administration could step up enforcement by federal law enforcement agents against recreational marijuana.

“I do believe that you’ll see greater enforcement,” Spicer told journalists. “When you see something like the opioid addiction crisis blossoming around so many states around this country, the last thing we should be doing is encouraging people.”

Trump’s executive order on immigration, which he signed last month, temporarily barred immigrants and refugees from seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the United States. The directive was halted earlier this month after a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order on it.

Chong, 78, endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in the 2016 presidential race.
