NEWTON-JOHN ADVOCATES FOR MEDICAL CANNABIS
ON THIS DAY

Olivia Newton-John insists “positive thinking” is vital amid her fight against stage-four metastatic breast cancer.
The legendary actress-and-singer was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1992, which eventually went into remission, before her cancer returned in 2013, and metastasized to her bones in 2017.
Her husband, John Easterling, legally grows medicinal cannabis, to help ease her symptoms.
Newton-John, 73, told Australia's Who magazine: “Positive thinking is so important to living a healthy and happy life ... Medicinal cannabis is something that should be available to everyone who is going through a chronic illness or pain ... I'm very lucky to be married to a wonderful man .... ”
Newton-John said her determination increased after the death of close friend Kelly Preston — wife of her Grease co-star John Travolta — in July 2020. “Kelly was a lovely woman and incredibly tragic loss. It just strengthened my resolve to find an end to cancer.”
