Tommy Chong
Tommy Chong rose to fame in the 1970s as half of the Grammy award winning comedy duo “Cheech and Chong” - who were notable for their love of cannabis. When Chong was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2010, he decided to use natural medicine and also take the opportunity to use his illness as an education into CBD as a treatment. Chong used CBD hemp oil, cannabis therapy, and other lifestyle changes. A year after the diagnosis, the cancer disappeared, and Chong attributed this to CBD. Unfortunately in 2015 he was diagnosed with colon cancer. He is now using a more aggressive forms of treatment, and “using cannabis like crazy” to deal with the side effects.
