Chelsea Handler is a true convert of the cannabis movement. Since last year, the comedienne hasn’t stopped talking about her love and support for the plant. “It changed my life and made things a little more tolerable and a little bit easier,” she told the Vancouver Sun.

“Then I woke up and thought, ‘I gotta go back to bed.’ I was not right for three days.”
Handler, who also told the story in her new book, Life Will Be The Death of Me: … And You Too!, was surprised by her reaction, based on her previous drug experience.
