Olivia Newton-John credits weed for helping cancer battle.

Olivia Newton-John isn’t ruling anything out in terms of treatment for her breast cancer.

In a pre-taped interview that aired on “Today” Thursday, the “Grease” star shared that she’s using marijuana that her husband John Easterling grows to help relieve the pain and nausea that come with cancer and chemotherapy.

“People have this vision from the ’60s of people just sitting around and getting stoned,” Newton-John, 68, told Natalie Morales. “I think that it’s not about that. This plant is a healing plant. I think we need to change the vision of what it is because it helped me greatly and it helps with pain and inflammation.”

Newton-John, who beat cancer once before, also credited her overall wellness plan with helping her get through the disease the first time. There’s now a cancer treatment center in Melbourne, Australia, that bears her name and offers patients a variety of holistic treatments including yoga, massages, art and music therapy.
