“‘I’m going to cure it with cannabis!’ Stoner comedy star Tommy Chong claims he will beat cancer using hemp oil.” -6/10/2012
“He shot to fame as one half of comedy stoner duo Cheech and Chong.
And now comedian Tommy Chong has revealed he is treating his early stage prostate cancer with hemp oil.
He revealed his condition during an interview on CNN in which he discussed the legalisation of marijuana.
The actor said: ‘I’ve got prostate cancer, and I’m treating it with hemp oil, with cannabis.
‘So it means a lot more to me than just being able to smoke a joint without being arrested.’
The 74-year-old described the cancer as ‘a slow stage one (that I’ve) had for a long time.’
He said that he was drug free for about three years, during which time he began having prostate-related problems.
Tommy added: ‘So I know it had nothing to do with cannabis. Cannabis is a cure.'”
