Amy Winehouse’s hospital dash in July was the result of marijuana poisoning and not a reaction to medication, a British tabloid report has claimed.
The Rehab singer was admitted to a London hospital on July 28th after falling ill at her home.
Her representative subsequently released a statement blaming her condition on an adverse reaction to medication she is taking to help kick her drug addiction – which the star’s father Mitch has also backed.
But now The Sun newspaper is claiming Winehouse had in fact become sick after allegedly smoking pot for more than a day.
And pals fear Winehouse’s reported addictions will leave her needing medical help for years to come.
A source tells the publication, “Mitch does everything he can to protect his daughter – but his ‘explanation’ for Amy’s hospital dash in July was simply untrue. She had smoked an inhuman amount of hash which resulted in acute cannabis poisoning. You have to take a s**tload of pot to suffer that severe a reaction. It’s thought she had been smoking it for 36 hours… She is in need of years of psychiatry and medical treatment if she has a hope (of fully recovering).”

Here’s a shocker: At the last minute, Amy Winehouse pulled out of a concert in Paris on Friday night because she was too sick to perform.
The trouble-stricken Brit, who’s been hospitalized twice since June, was too ill to make the trip from her home in London to the City of Lights for the Rock En Seine festival.
Her spokesman Chris Goodman told People, “It’s nothing serious. It’s just a normal illness—she hasn’t visited a hospital or anything like that. She’s at home in bed, just unable to sing.”
On the festival’s official blog (in French), organizers say they weren’t given an exact reason for her absence and that they may seek legal action.
The 24-year-old chanteuse is due to perform at next weekend’s Bestival festival on England’s Isle of Wight.
Ticket holders, don’t hold your breath…

Amy Winehouse was booed by fans after arriving late onstage at the U.K’s V Festival.
The Rehab hitmaker – who missed last year’s event following a suspected drug overdose – riled fans after turning up late for her scheduled performance at the event in Staffordshire, England on Saturday night.
The star was delayed en-route to the festival, leaving her bandmembers to fill a lengthy twenty minute pause, reports Gigwise.com.
But when Winehouse finally took to the stage, she was booed by the crowd. She attracted further disapproval when she dedicated her track Wake Up Alone to her jailed husband, Blake Fielder-Civil.
Fielder-Civil is currently serving a 27-month prison sentence for assault and perverting the course of justice.

Amy Winehouse was embroiled in a fracas outside a London pub on Thursday when she allegedly assaulted a photographer and a member of the public.
The Rehab hitmaker made her first public appearance in almost a fortnight when she ventured outside her home to attend a fundraiser at the Dingwalls pub in Camden, north London, to raise cash for her old haunt, The Hawley Arms, which was burnt to the ground back in February.
According to members of the paparazzi, after leaving the venue, Winehouse “ran riot” with her god-daughter before one of her bodyguards clashed with the pursuing snappers.
A brawl ensued, with a security man reportedly hitting out at photographers, knocking several to the ground.
And Winehouse got involved when she allegedly threw a pint glass at a paparazzo, before shouting and swearing randomly at people in the street – with one source claiming she slapped a passerby.
It’s not the first time the star has lashed out at the public – she was accused of assaulting three fans in less than two weeks at the start of July, and even smacked her own bodyguard in the face in one incident.

Amy Winehouse is planning to release the song she recorded for the new James Bond film, according to reports.
Winehouse recorded a potential theme song alongside producer Mark Ronson earlier this year but the track wasn’t chosen by the films producers.
Instead they selected a collaboration between Jack White and Alicia Keys, entitled ‘Another Way To Die’.
Winehouse is quoted as telling New that she wants to “prove that [the producers] made a big mistake” by not choosing her song.
“I do think they could have waited a bit. If they want a worldwide hit I have them all up here (pointing to her beehive),” she said.
“I guess they are going for clean-cut and boring. When I do release mine – and I am tempted to do it on the same day – this would be the bigger hit.”
She then apparently told the publication that she was waiting should White and Keys’ song fail to materialize.

Amy Winehouse turned to drugs following the death of her grandmother, according to reports.
The Rehab hitmaker’s former manager Nick Godwyn says Winehouse was devastated after grandmother Cynthia lost her battle with breast cancer in 2006.
And Godwyn admits Cynthia was the only person who could control the 24-year-old’s behavior
.
He says, “Cynthia was the one person who could make Amy behave and who she would listen to.”
And Winehouse’s father Mitch has backed up Godwyn’s claims.
He adds, “Cynthia was more like a best friend to Amy. She kept her feet on the ground. After she went, there’s nobody who she’ll listen to. She certainly won’t listen to me.”
