Comedy stoner legend TOMMY CHONG, of “Cheech and Chong” fame , has the solution for his prostate cancer – marijuana!
Chong’s cancer was diagnosed about a month ago, he told CNN, and is in a "slow stage one."
He said he first noticed symptoms nearly eight years ago during his nine-month sentence at Taft Correctional Institution in California, saying that he's convinced the prison caused the disease.
Tommy was sentenced to prison and ordered to pay a $20,000 fine and turn over $120,000 in assets for selling mail-order bongs.
"The prison is built on toxic waste. I also got gout from the food there," he said.
"I've got prostate cancer, and I'm treating it with hemp oil, with cannabis," Chong said.
The actor and comedian, 74, is a proponent of legalizing marijuana on the national level, RadaROnline.com reported.
Chong explained he quit smoking marijuana about a year ago, so to treat his cancer he ingests hemp oil, but only "at night, so I won't be woozy all day."
Cannabis didn't cause his cancer, Chong said, "Cannabis is a cure."
