The famous American actress and model Sharon Stone shared how she went through the process of quitting marijuana and the medication she had been prescribed after the stroke she suffered, which, she acknowledged, caused devastating physical wear and tear.
His achievement was quitting marijuana and stroke medications, he noted. Variety. His approach to these drugs came after he was prescribed several medications after suffering a near-fatal stroke.
It was in 2001 when the Oscar nominee suffered a stroke that complicated her health. This led her to receive stroke medication for several years, in order to prevent further complications. However, it was last September when things changed.
Stone stressed that he decided to stop taking these medications, even though, according to what he said, they told him that he couldn’t do it. “They told me, ‘You can’t leave it. You’ll never be able to leave it.’ And I told them, ‘I’m going to leave it,'” he shared with Variety.
Faced with that decision, the 67-year-old actress said that she faced one of the most physically devastating processes of her life and assured that it was like giving up heroin.
The process of stopping the stroke medication was complex, as he was “fatal” for four and a half months. He explained that his motivation was to get his life back and stop depending on medications.
“I had stopped most of the medications I had been prescribed over the years,” he said. However, it was in recent months that he decided to completely abandon treatment to fulfill his goal of living “a drug-free life.”
During that process she shared, “Once I quit that, I decided I was going to quit smoking marijuana,” which she explained made her feel sick for a month while she sought to stay drug-free.

Stone, who studied Fine Arts at university before dropping out to dedicate herself to modeling, maintains that passion, which has led her to exhibit in galleries around the world.
