Default IRL: Etheridge: Pot helped me cope with chemotherapy

Etheridge: Pot helped me cope with chemotherapy
Ireland Online | 12/12/2005

Rocker Melissa Etheridge snorted marijuana fumes as she coped with the side effects of chemotherapy because it was the only thing that comforted her.

The singer/songwriter, who is now cancer free after her brush with death, used marijuana to help her cope with the worst of radiation therapy on the advice of doctors - but when smoking the drug made her feel sick, she took to inhaling it.

She recalls: "I bought a vaporiser to heat up the herb, which I'd inhale four or five times a day.

"Using the pot was the best advice anybody gave me. It relieved most of my symptoms and I got a great deal of comfort from it."

Etheridge is now urging US politicians to reverse strict laws that forbid people from using medical marijuana.

She adds: "I'm furious that our country is denying the use of pot as pain relief. It should be legalised for medicinal purposes.

"I wonder if I'd have got through chemotherapy without it."

He is not "with it," that is, he doesn't know "what's happening." But if he manages to figure it out, he moves up a notch to "hip." And if he can bring himself to approve of what is happening, he becomes "groovy." After that, with much luck and perseverance, he can rise to the rank of "cool." A cool guy... cool guy... cool guy...

Snorted marijuana fumes?
