Demi Moore’s Friend Tells 9-1-1 Operator Star Smoked Something ‘Similar to Incense’

Demi Moores Friend Calls 9 11, Tells Dispatcher Moore Smoked Something

A friend of actress Demi Moore who phoned 9-1-1 after the star collapsed and began convulsing, told the dispatcher that Moore had “smoked something” that was not marijuana but “similar to incense and she seems to be having convulsions of some sort.”

She also told the operator Demi was, “semi-conscious, barely.” The friend added, “She’s been having some issues lately with some other stuff, but I don‘t know what she’s been taking or not.”

“Is she breathing normal?” the operator asked.

“No, not so normal. More kind of shaking, convulsing, burning up,” the friend replied.

The recording captured the 10 minutes it took paramedics to arrive as friends gathered around the star, attempting to comfort her. The clip of that call, featured below, is just under two minutes long.

Another woman was next to Moore as the dispatcher asked if the star was responsive.

“Demi, can you hear me?” she asked. “Yes, she’s squeezing hands. … She can’t speak.”

The city attorney’s office reportedly advised the fire department to redact details about medical conditions and substances to comply with federal medical privacy rules.

Asked if Moore took the substance intentionally or not, the woman said Moore did ingest the substance on purpose but that the reaction was accidental.

“Whatever she took, make sure you have it out for the paramedics,” the operator instructed.

The operator asked the friend if anything like this had ever happened before.

“I don’t know,” the friend said. “There‘s been some stuff recently that we’re all just finding out.”

According to AP, the 9-1-1 dispatcher told Moore’s friend not to hold her down but to wipe her mouth and nose and watch her closely until paramedics arrive.

“Make sure that we keep an airway open,” the dispatcher said. “Even if she passes out completely, that’s OK. Stay right with her.”

AP reports that the phone was passed around by four people, one of whom gave directions to the gate and another who recounted details about the mystery substance Moore smoked or ingested. Finally, the phone was handed to a man named James, so one of the women can hold Moore’s head.

Due to some confusion at the beginning of the call, the ambulance was reportedly delayed by nearly two minutes. At one point during the call, Moore’s friend became agitated, asking, “Why is an ambulance not on its way right now?”

“Ma’am, instead of arguing with me why an ambulance is not on the way, can you spell (the street name) for me?” the Beverly Hills dispatcher asked.

By the end of the call, Moore’s condition had reportedly improved.

“She seems to have calmed down now. She’s speaking,” the male caller told the operator.

Moore’s publicist, Carrie Gordon, said previously that the actress sought professional help to treat her exhaustion and improve her health.

Some speculate Moore may be suffering a sort of breakdown since her marriage to fellow actor Ashton Kutcher ended amid rumors of infidelity on the younger star’s part.

Yahoo adds that, according to internet reports, the 9-1-1 call was placed after the actress had inhaled a dangerous amount of nitrous oxide, also known as “whip-its.”

Following Moore’s collapse, her rep told ET, “Because of the stresses in her life right now, Demi has chosen to seek professional assistance to treat her exhaustion and improve her overall health.” She added that Moore, “looks forward to getting well and is grateful for the support of her family and friends.”

      If it’s the real deal Spice, there is a huge difference between one hit of that stuff and five. Five and you’ll be having conversations with God; begging to be released from the heart palipitations and accompanying anxieties to the extreme. “Damn the torpedos….release my precious endorphins and if I live to see tomorrow, I will do it again.” A philosophy to die by. Stupidity is very fashionable these days.

    It sounds to me like she was smoking synthetic cannabis, which can rarely produce effects like the ones described, especially if combined with other drugs.

      Yep, probably. Just had a bust up here in Ohio where the Feds raided a smoke shop for selling that fake garbage.

      Stick with the real thing. No convulsions, no deaths, just high times. And if they decriminalize it the world would be a much better place.

      Spice is growing epidemic in the military where drug testing is random and frequent and the synthetic stuff is difficult to detect.

      In the last 3 months I have read the reports of 9 Marines being hospitalized or dying from the use of Spice and know of at least 4 more cases from friends that ended VERY badly.
      One of these Marines I heard (from inside an office) run screaming from a room and jump head first from the 3rd story of a barracks, the idiots he was with said he had only taken two hits.

      I personally believe the catastrophic side effects are much more than rare. I do not condone drug use, but will say that if you are stupid enough to use drugs, DO NOT use this manufactured stuff.

      Perhaps trying to just eat is a more immediate goal for Demi Morose? Why can I envision Ms Morose finding an even younger boyfriend than her recent ex in her sad attempts to retain her youth and career? Yes nothing says “wow, how does she keep her looks, vigour and class” like anorexia, fainting spells and poaching young males that are even younger than your own children.

    Whippits aren’t smoked, they’re inhaled. She smoked some Salvia, which is sold as incense to skirt legality issues, and causes INTENSE hallucinations that hit you like a freight train. You lose ALL grip on reality for about 5-10 minutes, and can convulse, shake, or do all sorts of other things, given that you have NO IDEA where you REALLY are.

    Whippits are just Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas), and do NOT cause what happened here.

      Actually Marci, you’re wrong there. The synthetic marijuana does not do that to you. I know exactly what she used, because I’ve seen it many times while working security at raves and concerts. I can almost guarentee she was smoking Salvia, and was smoking a really strong version.
      For those that do not know, Salvia is a hallucenogenic, and is in no way related to, or have any similarities to, synthetic marijuana or real cannabis.
      Now, before the drug warrior crazies out there get their panties in a bunch over Salvia, there are good reasons it’s use is not widespread. Most people use it, do it once or twice, and do NOT try it again. The drug will not kill you, the plant is a member of the Sage family, and has been used in Native religious ceremonies for a very long time.
