Amy Winehouse’s Brain All Effed Up On The Drugs: Claim

Digg this!   

This is shocking news, so brace yourself - there’s a chance that Amy Winehouse’s dad hasn’t been wildly sensational about his daughter’s health for once.

Remember in July, when Amy Winehouse was rushed to hospital, with Mitch Winehouse telling everyone that she’d just had a bad reaction to medicine? Apparently that’s not the case at all. Apparently Amy Winehouse overdosed on drugs again, started convulsing and might have suffered permanent brain damage.

Although the brain damage hasn’t been fully diagnosed yet, there are a number of signs to look out for including a glazed expression, spontaneous muscle spasms, chronic slurring and bewildering hairstyle choices. Holy crap, do you know what this means? Bruce Forsyth has damaged his brain on drugs!

He hasn’t. He really hasn’t. At all. Sorry.

Mitch Winehouse has become a household name lately, and that’s because whenever Amy Winehouse coughs, Mitch Winehouse rushes off to the press to tell the world that drugs have given her emphysema or scabies or hantavirus or CJD or an allergy to peanuts, even though they probably haven’t.

But it seems like that might not have been the case in July, when Amy Winehouse was rushed to hospital with what was claimed to be a bad reaction to medicine. According to one of Amy Winehouse’s friends, she went to hospital because she had another one of her drug overdoses - this time on cannabis instead of heroin, cocaine, Ecstasy, ketamine and booze - and it actually broke her flipping mind. A friend of Amy’s told The Sun:

“The future is bleak, bleak, bleak… She had smoked an inhuman amount of hash which resulted in acute cannabis poisoning. You have to take a shitload of pot to suffer that severe a reaction. Amy’s fits were as bad as the convulsions she had during her overdose in August last year. She is in need of years of psychiatry and medical treatment if she has a hope.”

Like we said, shocking stuff. And definitely true, too - one of Amy Winehouse’s friends told it to The Sun. And if you can’t trust the word of someone who leeches off a millionaire singer and then goes blabbing to a red-top tabloid newspaper, then who can you trust?

Is this rock bottom for Amy Winehouse? Don’t be daft - she hasn’t got where she is today by listening to stupid things like well-established medical advice, has she? Admittedly where she is today is dangerously ill-looking, appearing to be constantly on the verge of a fatal drug overdose and staring down the barrel of a lifetime of brain damage, but who are we to point that out?

And it does seem to us like Amy Winehouse might have a little bit of brain damage already - she appears to have stopped pining for her jailed husband in public recently, and that’s a bit mental.

Because he’s just so sexy, isn’t he?

Girls?

Anyone?

    Acute cannabis poisoning? Didn’t happen, no way, not scientifically possible. I would have been dead a long time ago if it were.
    Is it possible that the long term use of coke, meth, ecstasy, ketamine, and heroin might have been the real culprit? Or maybe, just maybe, she’s always been mentally retarded? (That’s my theory.)

    Acute cannabis poisoning? Are Sun journalists really that retarded or was this “friend” a figment of the author’s imagination? Blaming Amy Winehouse’s problems on cannabis is like blaming AIDS on chipmunks. Average Sun BS.

    This is one of those evidence based facts of drug use that most users won’t buy into because there afraid “the Man?”(to take a ’60s expression) is out to take away their good time. Schizophrenia has in fact been closely associated with THC use as well as other hallucinogens. PET scans have demonstrated altered brain chemistry and function following heavy and chronic MJ use. Certainly genetic factors play a significant part in determining who will develop mental illness, and only a few who smoke pot will have problems, but to say its impossible is to ignore the medical evidence. The fact that Amy Winehouse is reportedly showing signs of schizophrenia, something I wouldn’t expect your run of the mill “hanger on” to be informed about, leads me to believe the story has validity. Sadly the singer is probably headed towards a fatal drug overdose as most anticipate, though there is also the possibility that she could end up like Syd Barrett, commited to a mental institution or her families guardianship.
