SKUNK GROWTH FUELS MENTAL HEALTH FEARS

-

REALITY telly babe Amber Turner went under the knife in December and she looked thrilled to show off her brand new BOOBS in a very skimpy top. babe also flashed her dazzling new smile, after flying to Turkey for a set of pearly veneers.

Amber, 24, flaunted her new look in a tiny leopard print top as she hit celeb hotspot Faces, in Essex, for a night on the tiles. FANTASY film

might have Oscar nomination­s but one fan is flogging a DILDO inspired by it.

Actor Doug Jones, 57, plays the Amphibian Man in the top flick and it’s the creature’s cock which has inspired the new sex toy.

The Shape of Water sees 41-year-old Sally Hawkins’s character Elisa fall in love with the amphibian man and the couple get very intimate.

However, now fans are keen to get their own pleasure from the Amphibian Man and one has made a limited edition dildo available on internet shop Etsy.

Doug said: “Someone made one but it’s not mass production. They made 20 apparently.

“I was hoping for something a bit classier but hey, you know, fan art is fan art.

“And if they want to pay homage then God bless them for that.

“The movie has gotten a lot of attention – I don’t know if we needed a dildo to put it over the top or not.

“People like to express themselves in different ways and that was her expression.”

Etsy store XenoCat Artifacts made 20 of the sex toys, which sold out within three days. WATER SPORT: Actor Doug Jones plays Amphibian Man in new flick

And they now plan to release 20 more during the Oscars season.

It comes with gill-like nobbles along the shaft which reflect the aquatic qualities of the creature.

Following the lead from the Amphibian Man the dildo also glows in the dark – just like the character in The Shape of Water.

While fans of the film might be interested in the dildo, Doug is more focused on the Oscar’s as The Shape of Water is up for 13 gongs on the night of the Academy Awards. SO-CALLED ‘skunk’ now almost completely dominates the cannabis market in the UK, a study suggests.

High-potency strains of the drug accounted for the vast majority of police seizures in a sample, researcher­s found.

The proportion of confiscati­ons relating to skunk has risen from just over half in 2005 to 94 per cent in 2016, according to the analysis, and experts raised concerns over the potential mental health implicatio­ns.

Senior study author Dr Marta Di Forti, of King’s College London, said: “In previous research we have shown that regular users of high-potency cannabis carry the highest risk for psychotic disorders, compared to those who have never used cannabis.

“The increase of high-potency cannabis on the streets poses a significan­t hazard to users’ mental health, and reduces their ability to choose more benign types.”

The study found the dominance of sinsemilla was mainly due to a reduction in availabili­ty of weaker cannabis resin – from 43 per cent in 2005 to just six per cent in 2016.

The research team are investigat­ing whether changes to the cannabis market are having a measurable impact on mental health.

Dr Di Forti said: “More attention, effort and funding should be given to public education on the different types of street cannabis and their potential hazards.”
