<\/p>\nSharon Stone has recalled how she felt “pretty sick” after quitting marijuana.
The Basic Instinct actress suffered a near-fatal subarachnoid haemorrhage in September 2001, with her taking around seven years to fully recover.<\/p>\n
In an interview for Variety published on Monday, Stone recounted how she decided to stop taking one of the stroke medications last September against medical advice.<\/p>\n
“They said, ‘You can’t go off of it. You can never go off of it.’ I’m like, ‘I’m going off it,’ and it was like going off of f**king heroin,” she declared. “I was sick as a frigging dog for four and a half months. I just thought, ‘I want my life back.’ I had gotten off the majority of the drugs over the years that they had put me on. But I was like, ‘I want a drug-free life.'”<\/p>\n
In addition, Stone revealed that she had made a vow to give up smoking weed too.<\/p>\n
“Once I got off that, I decided I’m going to quit smoking pot. And because I think they put so much stuff in it now – they really do – when I stopped smoking pot, I also got sick,” the 68-year-old continued. “It’s not like you’re pulling it out of the ground anymore. It’s not like when we were kids. I got pretty sick for a month.” <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Accordingly, Stone made an appointment with her neurologist, who persuaded her to quit marijuana entirely.<\/p>\n
“He said, ‘Sharon, I’ve had people dying in the emergency room from marijuana,'” she remembered.<\/p>\n
Following her return to acting, Stone has appeared in the 2020 thriller series Ratched, the 2021 drama Here Today, and the third season of HBO series Euphoria this year.<\/p>\n
And between spending time with her sons and balancing her art career, the Casino star insisted that she is doing well.<\/p>\n
“This has been a period for me in this last year of really reclaiming my life,” the mother-of-three smiled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sharon Stone has recalled how she felt “pretty sick” after quitting marijuana.The Basic Instinct actress suffered a near-fatal…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":775600,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[236,88,6149,330787,17774,330786],"class_list":["post-775599","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-marijuana","tag-pretty-sick","tag-sharon-stone","tag-subarachnoid-haemorrhage"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/775599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=775599"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/775599\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/775600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=775599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=775599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=775599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
