A source close to Amy Winehouse reported to the media that the singer may have suffered brain damage from two drug overdoses. The source claimed doctors diagnosed Amy with multiple psychiatric issues last year after she overdosed on crystal meth, heroin and cocaine. In July, Amy reportedly smoked marijuana continuously over a thrity-six hour period, which resulted in convulsions that required an emergency trip to the hospital.

Winehouse first overdosed in August last year from cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, ketamine, and crystal meth. She was advised to see a psychiatrist after displaying ‘multiple personality traits’ that made her a suicide risk.

It was following this second overdose in July that doctors are worried her brain was damaged by the cannabis overdose after she displayed symptoms normally associated with schizophrenia.

The Back to Black star inhaled an ‘inhuman’ amount of hash that left her vomiting uncontrollably and hallucinating, according to her pal.

Her loyal father Mitch said at the time that it was a ‘bad reaction to medication’, however a close friend refutes this.

‘The future is bleak, bleak, bleak,’ the pal told The Sun. ‘Mitch does everything he can to protect his daughter, but his ‘explanation’ for Amy’s hospital dash in July was just simply untrue.

‘She had smoked an inhuman amount of hash which resulted in acute cannabis poisoning. You have to take a shitload of pot to to suffer that severe reaction.

‘Amy’s fits were as bad as the convulsions she had during her overdose in August last year.

‘No one has mentioned her meth use before, but that stuff is truly nasty.

‘She is in need of years of psychiatry and medical treatment if she has a hope.’

Amy canceled her appearance at the Rock En Seine music festival in Paris on Friday due to an unnamed illness. The concert organizers are considering legal action against Amy for the last-minute cancellation.
