Melissa Etheridge: I Used Medicinal Marijuana-is now cancer-free.

Edited on Fri Oct-14-05 12:15 PM by Zinfandel

"Instead of taking five or six of the prescriptions, I decided to go a natural route and smoke marijuana," Etheridge says in an interview...

The 44-year-old singer, who was diagnosed over a year ago, is now cancer-free.

Melissa Etheridge says she smoked medicinal marijuana to help with the side effects of chemotherapy during her treatment for breast cancer."

3. Clarification

I think the marijuana she smoked was a substitute for the drugs to help with nausea during chemo, not used in place of chemo, itself. The last paragraph says it, but the first confused me.
