Cheba Hut “Toasted” Subs is a cannabis-themed sandwich shop founded in Tempe, Arizona, in 1998.
In its lifetime, Cheba Hut has grown from a local curiosity to the nation’s foremost weed-themed sub place.
According to a Greeley Tribune article, the judge asked founder Scott Jennings if he was a “frequent or chronic user of marijuana” in trying to judge his moral character.
“It’s not illegal to talk about marijuana,” said attorney Maria Liu, who represented Jennings in the appeal, to the Greeley Tribune in 2011.
The irony of running a cannabis-themed sandwich shop when so many people are still in prison for nonviolent pot offenses isn’t lost on Cheba Hut.
