Tommy Chong, famous for his role in the “Cheech and Chong” movies, was diagnosed with prostate cancer recently. Staying true to his ways, Chong plans to treat his illness with cannabis, specifically hemp oil.

Chong is not the first person to recognize the great potential hemp oil may possess in the fight against cancer. One famous benefactor of hemp oil’s healing is Rick Simpson. Simpson is considered a pioneer in the field of cannabis, and his method of using the concentrated hemp oil has caught the attention of many.

If cannabis has the potential to cure diseases that modern medicine is inept to fix, then we must demand that more research is conducted.

“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.” -Tommy Chong
