because amy whinehouse's biggest problem is cannabis!

Riiiiight...
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.

indeed, it was!

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

agreed!

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
