Comedian Tommy Chong claims pot cured his cancer

Comedian Tommy Chong has announced he has cured his prostate cancer by using cannabis.

The 74 year-old was diagnosed in June last year following a three year-period of being drug-free.

On the advice of a Canadian doctor Chong changed his diet to include special supplements and hemp oil before sessions with “world-renowned” Adam Dreamhealer .

The funnyman, who is one half of the constantly stoned duo Cheech and Chong, announced he had beaten the disease in a blog on Celebstoner.com.

He told his fans “I kicked cancer’s ass!” and has championed the use of cannabis oil for treating cancer.

The actor, writer and activist said: “With the diet, the supplements and the hash oil, plus a session with a world-renowned healer, Adam Dreamhealer, I’m cancer-free.

“That’s right, I kicked cancer’s ass!

“So the magic plant does cure cancer with the right diet and supplements.

“I’m due for another blood test, MRI, etc., but I feel the best I’ve felt in years.”

Chong then said he would be celebrating by smoking “the finest” cannabis from the Middle East.
