From St Petersburg Times
NEW YORK - Melissa Etheridge says she smoked medicinal marijuana to help with the side effects of chemotherapy during her treatment for breast cancer.
The singer, who was diagnosed more than a year ago, is now cancer-free.
"Instead of taking five or six of the prescriptions, I decided to go a natural route and smoke marijuana," Etheridge, 44, says in an interview to air Sunday on Dateline NBC (7 p.m. EDT).
When asked how her doctors reacted, Etheridge says, "Every single one was, "Oh, yeah. That's the best help for the effects of chemotherapy.' "
The singer said she smoked marijuana every day for her pain and symptoms and "the minute I didn't feel it, I stopped."
The use of marijuana with a doctor's recommendation is legal in California and nine other states, but is against federal law.
