Love how the Huff is so dismissive of Marijuana as a medicine for cancer. They really need to read the research…..
Actor Tommy Chong is battling prostate cancer, he revealed to CNN’s Don Lemon on Saturday night.
The 74-year-old is best known for his stoner-comedy routine alongside Cheech Marin, as the comedy duo “Cheech and Chong.”
Chong told CNN he was diagnosed about a month ago and that the cancer is currently in a “slow stage one.” He revealed he first noticed symptoms nearly eight years ago during his nine-month sentence at Taft Correctional Institution in California, adding that he believes the prison caused his health to take a turn for the worse.
“The prison is built on toxic waste. I also got gout from the food there,” he told CNN.
The actor and comedian revealed his condition during an interview about his support for decriminalizing marijuana use and sales, so it’s not surprising how he plans on treating his illness.
“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 explained, adding that he was drug free for nearly three years, during which time he began having health problems. “So I know [the cancer] had nothing to do with cannabis. Cannabis is a cure.”
Chong also explained he quit smoking marijuana about a year ago, so to treat his prostate cancer he ingests hemp oil, but only “at night, so I won’t be woozy all day,” he explained.
Grew up with Cheech and Chong. They rock. Fucking cancer.

The scientists tested turmeric, also known as curcumin, along with phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), a naturally occurring substance particularly abundant in a group of vegetables that includes watercress, cabbage, winter cress, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale, cauliflower, kohlrabi and turnips. “The bottom line is that PEITC and curcumin, alone or in combination, demonstrate significant cancer-preventive qualities in laboratory mice, and the combination of PEITC and curcumin could be effective in treating established prostate cancers,” said Ah-Ng Tony Kong, a professor of pharmaceutics at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey.
Turmeric is a yellow spice used widely in Indian cooking. US researchers have found that curcumin, an active compound found in turmeric, helped stop the spread of breast cancer tumour cells to the lungs in mice.
“Tests have already started in people, too”, said Bharat Aggarwal of the Department of Experimental Therapeutics at the University of Texas Anderson Cancer Centre in Houston, who led the study.
“Here you don’t need to worry about safety. The only thing we have to worry about is efficacy,” Aggarwal said in a telephone interview.
“Curcumin, as you know, is very much an essential part of the Indian diet,” he added.
