Tommy Chong, one half of comedy duo Cheech & Chong and a longtime marijuana enthusiast, has revealed that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer — and he’s using cannabis to treat the condition, according to CNN. Chong says he started seeing symptoms eight years ago “while incarcerated for selling drug paraphernalia,” he says.
Chong is using hemp oil to fight his “slow state one” cancer, “so (legalizing marijuana) means a lot more to me than just being able to smoke a joint without being arrested,” he says.
