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.
