I’m here to address the outrageous propaganda published this week by the NY Post / Fox News about Sharon Stone’s severe withdrawal from Marijuana. First of all, the article is 100% unsubstantiated. The hyperlink for “withdrawal symptoms” is Fox’s general Health webpage. The symptoms listed in the article are nearly identical to what you'd experience when stopping anything you'd developed a habit of using whether it's coffee or tobacco or bungee jumping. Anxiety, irritibility, insomnia.
The rest of the claims are about as flimsy. “They put so much stuff in [marijuana] now.” That’s unadulterated bullshit. They put fertilizer and trace elements in it, same as they have always done, same as the ground provides. Sharon is selling a new version of paraquat superstition all over again.
And the real knee slapper "I’ve had people dying in the emergency room from marijuana.” if Fox and the Post weren’t worthless rags they would have gotten a quote from her neuroscientist, not this second hand unaccountable bullshit which people will repeat as fact. It's an incredibly outrageous claim. The only way a person dies from marijuana is by developing Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) over years and years of chronic use and even then they become very well aware of the problem and the risks if they continue to use marijuana.
There's the usual stuff about substance abuse. The four points can be summed up as "If your use is spiraling out of control and you're screwing up at work and in your marriage, you may not be a casual user anymore."
Finally, the potency. Weed has always been pretty damn strong, humans have been cultivating it for millennia. The difference is now they take a lot more care growing it. They remove the males to prevent seed production, increase light and provide exact nutrients. Not just scattering seeds in a 10 acre field anymore. If you can find what we used to call “bag weed” seeds and grow them under ideal conditions you’ll still end up with sinsimelia that is 18%-25% THC, and in fact the weed we used to get in the early 80’s was BETTER than todays weed. Maybe it wasn’t 30%, but exotic af. And we had lots of hash and even hash oil, too.
I don't know what the point is for publishing such tripe. I guess now that the drug war is dead, the drug war must continue.

Sensimella, the double Ls act like a “y” sound that makes it sound like “Sensimelia”.
It’s Spanish for no seeds. “Sin” means without, similar to English “un” like “uncensored” without censor. Semilla means seed. So sin semilla marijuana is unseeded cannabis. Shorted by gringos to be Sensimella and meant really good weed that wasnt your shwaggy, bricked up, seed filled pot that was sold by the lid.
Marijuana withdraws are no joke, just yesterday I had to withdraw $100 for pot, then later I had to withdraw another $20 for dominos, but I lost that $20 and had to ride my scooter back to the atm for another $20 and race back to my place before the pizza arrived. Whole time, the original $20 was in my shirt pocket.
No idea what karen stone is talking bout tho.
