Tommy Chong Uses Hemp Oil to Treat Prostate Cancer
Tommy Chong has been making people smile for decades with his work that includes standup comedy, his role in the “Cheech and Chong” movies, and regular appearances on “That 70s Show”. While often playing a silly but harmless “stoner”, we know that Mr. Chong is an engaging and serious intellectual as well.
Tommy Chong has been a long time advocate of marijuana’s benefits so we at marijuana.net were saddened to hear that he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. He will be attempting to fight his cancer by using hemp oil. The upbeat Chong recently said “I’ve got prostate cancer, and I’m treating it with hemp oil, with cannabis, so legalizing marijuana means a lot more to me than just being able to smoke a joint without being arrested.”
He is not the first person to recognize the great potential hemp oil may possess in the fight against cancer. There have been recent stories from patients regarding hemp oil fighting cancer. One famous benefactor of hemp oil’s healing is Rick Simpson. Simpson is considered a pioneer in this field and his method of using the concentrated oil has caught the attention of many. Additionally there are other non publicized studies showing how cannabis may be able to combat serious medical conditions. Here’s an official United States government study conducted in 2006 that shows THC battling leukemia.
Some Members of marijuana.net were fortunate enough to meet Mr. Chong at a rally in front of Los Angeles’ City Hall. He was extremely kind and personable. We hope that utilizing the hemp oil works for Tommy Chong and that his high profile story opens up a serious national discussion on alternative approaches to serious medical conditions. If cannabis has the potential to cure diseases that modern medicine is inept to fix, then we must demand that more research is conducted. However, we also simply wish whatever treatments Tommy Chong uses that he has a speedy recovery. This is one of the nicest individuals we have ever met and the world could use his kindness for years to come.
A Letter to Santa
Dear Santa,
This year for Christmas what I want the most won’t fit in a stocking. You see, things down here, south of the pole, are a little bit out of sorts. We have a lot of sick people who are having problems obtaining their medication. Some of us have found that nothing helps our ailments like marijuana. But it’s illegal to buy, own, and sell it in most of the country. California’s been nice enough to allow dispensaries for medical marijuana, but even the Golden State seems to be confused about what they want. In other states they have really strict drug laws and someone can go to jail just for having their meds on-hand for when they need them.
There are countless instances where this is a major problem. We have ill grandmothers out there in poor health, waiting for some relief. Do we need people with arthritis and bad hips turning to street vendors?. We have situations where these people have to seek treatment illegally. Sometimes they have to depend on loved ones to for access to their medication. Santa, what an unfair situation this is to put people in. We do not want to break the law, but we are not heartless and do not want to watch those close to us suffer.
Could you figure a way to drop a bill into the stockings of all the senators and representatives in congress? I’m not good at lawyer-speak but could you write up some new legislation for marijuana in America? I think it needs to be reclassified into a schedule 2 substance because of its medical properties so doctors can prescribe it. Also, I guess we need to find additional ways to tax it on both a federal and state level. This way it can help to reduce the nation’s deficit. Look, I’m not just asking for me. This could help a lot of people. It could keep young kids from ruining their lives and can put money into the hands of government officials instead of criminal cartels. And it can help make lots of people who are sick to feel better and cope with harsh treatments.
I know its asking a lot, but do you think you can do it? If you can’t, I understand. You have elves in your workshop and I don’t think any of them went to Harvard Law. If this doesn’t work out, my back up wish is for our stockings to be full of that Northern Lights (is that what you grow up there?) so many patients eyes will fill with joy!
Thank you Santa,
From all the patients in our community.
P.S. still holding out for peace on earth and goodwill towards mankind.
