because amy whinehouse's biggest problem is cannabis!

The true extent of Amy Winehouse's drug use | The Sun |Showbiz|Bizarre (http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/article1630740.ece)

"HER second overdose was in July â?? when she inhaled an â??inhumanâ?� amount of hash that left her vomiting uncontrollably and hallucinating. "
â??She had smoked an inhuman amount of hash which resulted in acute cannabis poisoning. You have to take a s***load of pot to suffer that severe a reaction.
â??Itâ??s thought she had been smoking it for 36 hours. " :stoned:


really? seriously? Im willing to bet there are a few on this board that have inhaled an "inhuman" amount of hash and only had a great time? How many cases are there of "acute cannabis poisoning" and were they inhaled? doesn't seem possible, ingestion sure!

[rebgirl420]

She's missing teeth and shit from grinding...

pot doesn't do that to you.

[FakeBoobsRule]

Pot doesn't age you 70 years.

Pot doesn't make you dig holes in your skin.

Pot doesn't make you look like skin drapped over bones.

If her problem was pot, she wouldn't have any problems.

It's probably the only thing she doesn't do.

A mental break from pot, yea ok. She must be the UK's version of the guy from "Reefer Madness."

[rebgirl420]

JUNKIE!

Holyyyyyyyy fuckkkiiiiiing shit. I am the last person that would ever give a shit what some random singer does with their life... but that picture of her haggard ass face made me look for other gnarly pictures of her.

OHHH MYYYYY GOD!!!

Anyone seen this picture before? She is SPENT!!!

I have a difficult time accepting that transformations like this are caused by Cannabis... unless you refuse to eat or drink and simply consume THC for a few dozen weeks.... MAYBE :jointsmile:

I'm gonna go puke...

sometimes it seems to me that people on this board choose to ignore the fact that cannabis is a drug. drugs are known to harm as well as help. cannabis being a drug can therefore harm or help. i used to be pretty close minded about it as well, thinking that it was wonderful and never caused any harm...but these days i sing a different tune.

[psychocat]

Firstly
The Sun newspaper is a piss poor news source.
Secondly
Whingehouse is a complete smackhead and total fuck up.

Riiiiight... I'm pretty sure most of the people here, while they may not experience serious negative effects of Cannabis, realize that ABUSE of any drug is not recommended for a functional adult life. Obviously "drugs" are here to help... but CAN harm. I'm pretty sure that is why there is such a discussion over the drug ABUSE of this woman. It's not like we are looking at someone with a smokers cough and saying... "Ahhh, they didn't get that from smoking buds!" She has lost what looks like 100+lbs... is missing teeth... has cuts (many self-inflicted)... and has turned into a side show exhibit.

Now please... if you really think that consumption of Cannabis is solely to blame for such a drastic transformation, that's fine... I guess? I believe the purpose of this post was to show the absurdity of the story. I'm going to speculate that the cornucopia of OTHER substances was the major contributing factor.

So yeah.... OF COURSE there are negative results from consuming a combusted plant. Possibly even from vaping... eating... etc. But if you honestly think that ANYONE here is ignoring those possibilities because of this post... I hate to say it, but this site has probably not much left to offer you.

I think we have ALL come to the conclusion that Cannabis can be EXTREMELY beneficial to our lives... when used RESPONSIBLY.

The word of the day is ABUSE ;)

indeed, it was!

higher4hockey, where did I say that cannabis doesnt harm people? The title itself is sarcasm but still implies cannabis being a problem, just not her biggest!


How many cases are there of "acute cannabis poisoning" and were they inhaled? doesn't seem possible, ingestion sure!

Here i even say that its possible to have cannabis poisoning from ingestion. doesnt that imply harm?

[painretreat]

I feel sorry for her. She is a very sick person. This is sad that society can't or her loved ones cannot intervene and do something FOR here! Like lock her up in a room and get her off of all the crap she is on and give her cannabis to get off of it. Lots of sports drinks, protein bars and a good diet and exercise!

Sadly, if she got the mental help she and everyone deserve's, until they are well enough to handle life-maybe her teeth and skin woud be something she would notice. I doubt she can see past her nose with whatever she has been doing!

She would not be that skinny if all she did was smoke ganja! She needs to eat it!! Or something!

The pictures tell the story! PR :hippy:

That sounds good but its not so simple :( weed does not help any w/d's at all it just makes it less annoying for some. Plus some drugs are deadly when w/ding you can't just cold turkey. You need to be weened off. But I agree that something needs to be done i mean we only get to live once.

[rebgirl420]

We shouldn't want to save her.

She should want to save herself.

I believe that if you are weak enough to put such things into your body then maybe we shouldn't want to save you. Maybe it's natural selection. Not everyone is worth saving.

Not everyone is worth saving.Yeah addiction is natural selection....I remember reading she has bipolar disorder....as someone who as experience in dealing with both addiction and bpd I can vouch by saying it's hard to get clean, and stay that way. I think she might just have too much money now...when the money dries up or she gets stable she'll get sober...until then she'll stay a junkie. I'm tired of hearing/seeing her in the media, leave her alone.

[katyowns]

I think the attitudes toward addiction in this post are pretty sickening. Addiction can happen to anyone. If no one had "wanted to save" certain members of my family, they wouldn't be alive today. Everyone makes mistakes, and drug addiction can be caused by or be a sign of mental illness. It's not cut and dry, no one ingests substances thinking "oh man sweet sweet dependence, oh yeaaaah".


Should we not help anyone who harms themselves by doing something with inherent risk? Guess race car drivers should just be left to die when they crash and burn.

[zzdank]

Yea bipolar leads to drug abuse a lot. Its very rare to see someone get addicted to a drug only for its recreational properties. It is mostly depression, pain, or a mental illness. Kurt Kobain always said that he used heroin to get rid of his extreme stomach pain. I think it is very wrong that people look down on addicts they should be treated like people that are ill and everyone should try to help instead of looking down on them.

[TheMetal1]

That is like the most perfect analogy that could have been given. Especially since, to American culture, addiction AND car crashes are considered the HIGHEST form of entertainment. Sad but true...

I obviously can't speak for anyone else, but I know my attitude portrayed in this particular thread is not generally how I would address such a tragic transformation. I think the fundamental difference between her... and most people suffering from addiction, is that she most likely has the resources and availability of top notch facilities to deal with that type of disorder. From someone who has dealt with various forms of addiction... as many of you know... you TRULY have to want and NEED to quit. She obviously has not reached that point yet. Just as we reserve the right to medicate, while potentially harming our bodies from smoking... others have the right to do what they see appropriate as long as it doesn't harm others. As commendable (and sometimes life saving) as interventions or counseling can be... it really is up to the user to seek rehabilitation IF it is to be for the long run. In many cases the relapse after a program is what causes that fatal overdose. Maybe it actually is better for her to spiral downward until she sees that hole from the bottom up. We simply can't make that decision.

As for people wanting or not wanting her to be saved... whatever. We will undoubtedly play zero role in her recovery... minus the people that purchase her album and fund her road to better health. Let us all just hope that the people who REALLY matter... in her personal life... care enough to show her that she deserves better than that and she WILL die if nothing changes.

Ahhh... I hate that I'm posting on this thread :jointsmile: haha I got enough to deal with.

[vej33]

I was going to post about that whole article when I read it, but I got super lazy.

Fortunately, everyone I've talked to, or seen react to the article, has made the exact same first comment: "you can't OD on pot".

I've had pretty impressive marijuana binges (tho even the terminology "binge" brings to mind a negative aspect...), and even if i probably couldn't afford the amounts the likes of poor Wino, I think a lot of us have had that one random night where we just got too fucked, too couch-locked, dare i say it made us feel ill? It's happened to me ONCE, and I was just too over-stimulated. I knew someone ONCE who got nauseous after smoking a nicely resinated Grandfather blunt, composed of a dozen or so blunt-roaches, but even THAT passed in a short period of time.

Cannabis-poisoning? Yea, maybe when you mix it with Meth, and then I'm pretty sure that's just called a "Meth OD". Fucking losers. Always trying to blame pot. Pot's probably fucking saved her life, sparked a hint of an appetite or something.. Makes her forget to take that last freebase.

[Blazed Deafy]

Apparently Winehouse must have smoked vast of cannabis and left her brain damaged somehow
I dont know about this....:wtf:

maybe she was doin some killer gravity bongs

i know i don't feel human after a few of those :jointsmile:

STRAIGHT TO THE DOME!

[flyingimam]

see thats is exactly how they blame all the stupid shit on marijuana

the bitch is a crackhead, right here it says she has done some meth right b4 this, who knows what else she has done thats not reported

and then she has gone on a 36 hours campaign for smokin weed!

well she could have done anything else as well in this 36 hours... she could have burned herself 100 times with cigs or eaten 10 pizzas or slept for 30 hours of it, wait, she was on meth nvm! or u know? whatever...

when some1 is crazy and under influence of OTHER stuff, how can what they did be judged without taking into context the brief history of it!?

u can even drink a few gallons of water within a short time and die because of it!!

I mean... if she has brain damage from 36 hours of str8 tokin... thats her own problem...i highly doubt any rational person will do what she did, even the heaviest smokers! i for one will pass out @ the end of hour 1 :))

u eva done puff puff pass str8 for 60 minutes?... participation fades out within the first 10-15 mins among the savviest smokers i have known to date! and by min 30 half the crew is either chillin/sleepin or just long gone!

[vej33]

let's play that immediately, i need a good puff...

***puff...puff...passsssss....***:D

The biggest load of BS.

I was constantly stoned for over 15 years of my life and consumed massive amounts of cannabis on a very regular basis , many of my friends were the same and none of us ever suffered any serious effects.

Maybe the mods can merge these threads.

[Coelho]

Well... VERY UNFORTUNATELY i never inhaled "inhuman" amounts of marijuana... but im sure i would love it. And i also am sure that it wouldnt make me become that that she became... Weed is NOT crack!!!!! :rastasmoke:

[SFGurrilla]

Holyyyyyyyy fuckkkiiiiiing shit. I am the last person that would ever give a shit what some random singer does with their life... but that picture of her haggard ass face made me look for other gnarly pictures of her.

Oh no here boobies disapeared!

SHOCK details of Amy Winehouseâ??s drug use emerged last night â?? she binged on crystal meth and may have brain damage after a 36-HOUR pot marathon

CRYSTAL METH - And how knows maybe she had some tainted hash, that shit sits around for years before its sent here.

[zzdank]

Am sure weed had nothing to do with it. I get to a point where i just don't want to inhale anymore smoke. I can't keep smoking for 36 hours.

[Breukelen advocaat]

I've heard of people in traditional hash-producing countries who sit down for long periods and smoke an ounce or more - but they breath the smoke in and out constantly without inhaling it deep into the lungs. This method gets them very, very blasted.

I'd guess that Amy could care less about the purity of the hash she uses.

[flyingimam]

I totally confirm this, seen it first hand in rural south-eastern Iran
and u get blowed as fuck!!!!

similar to puff puff pass, but yeah they dont keep it in like us, cuz there, hash is produced within 500 km range of them! lol, u can make a 2 hour trip and hit acres of marijuana farms in afghanistan and subsequently find wholesale and very cheap prices for hash

no need to efficiently get the most out of it and screw the lowest part of your lungs for that matter!
its cheap, so they can afford to have it wasted a lil bit!

[zzdank]

You guys are saying the hash she smoked was not pure? Because am if she smoked soapbar that shit can have nasty chemicals as well as ketamine in there. Other than that i have not heard of unpure hash.

[flyingimam]

u can find pure hash... hard but possible... its not like coke to be "cut" on standard and very very very rare to be pure! its hash, its thc crystals taken off marijuana plant and compressed or left in powder form!

but since europe gets most of their hash from morocco, most likely it will be cut with somethin, in them bars!

[Breukelen advocaat]

I've had plenty of good hash, and never had any that I thought was bad (as in tainted) - but I haven't had any hash at all in a dog's age. I've only heard stories on here about a lot of it being bad in Europe these past few years, so it sounds plausable that a person with as little regard for their health as she has wouldn't be very picky about what, and/or how much, they smoke.

I wish that we still could get hash from Nepal, Tibet, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Morocco, etc., but those days are over.

[smok3y]

Wot a load of shit.. She is to blame for her own illness, no one but her.. Nobody held a crack pipe to her lips and told her she better smoke it or else, no one stuck a needle in her arm and said you better shoot up or else.. She done this all by her self.. Maby if the papers stop reportin about her then maby she will relize no one cares about her self harmin act..
She dosent want to be helped so just let her be, if she want to go on killing her self let her ( that may sound cruel but that tough shit cause there people out there who acually want help but cant get it, when she been offerd so much but she is just not inrested).. Her family have tryed hard to get her to get of the drugs and for her to stop living like a stanky ass crack whore, but she's just not intrested.. So I say fuck her, let her die a slow and painfull death.. If she dosent want to be helped then she cant be helped..

It a sad thing because she has her whole life a head of her and all she wants to do is waste her good talent and slowley kill her self..

Get a fucking grip Amy crackhouse...

[SFGurrilla]

Cystal Meth didn't have anything to do with it

:stupid:
