Tommy Chong Reveals Prostate Cancer Diagnosis, Treating with Hemp Oil
by Mike Barrett One-half of the German award-winning comedy duo Cheech & Chong, Tommy Chong has recently announced his battle against prostate cancer. While Chong was diagnosed about a month ago with prostate cancer, he was told by his doctor that a ‘slow stage 1′ cancer has been active for a ‘long time’. “I’ve got prostate cancer, and I’m treating it with hemp oil, with cannabis,” Chong said. Interestingly, Chong says that he started having prostate-related problem only once he was drug-free for three years. ”So I know it had nothing to do with cannabis…Cannabis is a cure,” Chong said. Chong, like many others, has the same question: why is marijuana illegal when the plant is powerful enough to fight one of the leading causes of death? Back in 2006, one study was developed by a team of medical researchers at the Virginia Commonwealth University’s Pharmacology and Toxicology department on leukemia patients.

Science Says: Lungs Love Weed
Breathe easy, tokers. Smoking marijuana in moderate amounts may not be so bad for your lungs, after all. A new study, published in this month's Journal of the American Medical Association, tested the lung function of over 5,000 young adults between 18 and 30 to determine marijuana's effect on lungs. After 20 years of testing, researchers found some buzzworthy results: regular marijuana smokers (defined by up to a joint a day for seven years) had no discernable impairment in lung activity from non-smokers. In fact, researchers were surprised to find marijuana smokers performed slightly better than both smokers and non-smokers on the lung performance test. Why?

As marijuana enters the mainstream, studies like the one published in JAMA might dispel false assertions about the plant's deleterious health hazards and promote its medicinal benefits.
What are the real risks of taking cannabis?
By Richard Shrubb The right wing press would have you believe that cannabis makes you a psychotic knife wielding monster, about to progress through the gateway to a lonely death from an OD on heroin and crack cocaine speedballs. Never believe everything you read in the papers … Many years ago I was surprised to be told by a professor of psychiatry while researching an article, that smoking pot didn’t actually cause my schizophrenia – I was going to get the illness whether I liked it or not. In 1998 a seminar paper was published in The Lancet. Cannabis joint. So, what are the real risks? The Lancet suggested that cannabis use has high risks of bronchitis, which can lead to other illnesses. Again, beware of old science! Shapiro goes on, “most illnesses caused by cannabis are psychological, though they really only exacerbate underlying conditions such as depression and psychosis”. Shapiro argues that cannabis use is falling these days. Even this figure can’t be exact.
CRRH's Cannabis Tax Acts (CTA) would comprehensively reform marijuana laws by regulating and taxing adult sales; licensing the cultivation of the drug for sale in adult-only businesses; allowing adults to grow their own and farmers to grow industrial hemp
