Sharon Stone is opening up about her harrowing experience quitting marijuana and her stroke medication.
The beloved actress, 68, who is best known for roles in Casino, Basic Instinct, and Total Recall, headed to TV with a role on HBO’s hot series Euphoria. Also a successful painter and philanthropist, the star has seen a variety of ups and downs over the years. That includes the stroke she suffered almost 25 years ago.
“I got off one of my medications that I was on for my stroke last September, and they said I couldn’t go off of it,” Stone told Variety in a new interview. “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---ing heroin. 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.’”
After that harrowing experience, she also decided she wanted to quit smoking marijuana.
“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. 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. I went to my neurologist, and he said, ‘Sharon, I’ve had people dying in the emergency room from marijuana,’” she elaborated.
