"The stone that the builder refused will always be the head cornerstone. - Ja Proverb"



Funny as hell!


So, where is the advisory itself?

[Hortical]

I took that clip from The Nation Newspaper of Barbados. The Ministry of Health website is out of date and does not publish any advisories.

[Mosiah]

So, the stone is...indigenous to Jamaica? Mi did tink seh a China it come from, like all di odda tings dem.

Is what it mek outta? And don't tell mi "stone"!

[Hortical]

Not sure whey the stone come from, but methinks the "Chinee Brush" from China. Chinee Brush should be used with extreme caution, that's what I have heard from dem people.

Barbados Ministry of Health Warning

Ministry issues aphrodisiac warning



THE Ministry of Health is warning members of the public against the use of an aphrodisiac known as "Stone", which can cause death when ingested. It contains chemicals which disrupt the normal rhythm of the heart.
The product, which is also called "Jamaican Stone", "Love Stone", "Black Stone" or "Chinese Rock", is made from toad venom and plant extracts. Stone is also known to be extremely harmful when used on the skin.
The Health Ministry is also advising the public not to use the product known as the "Coffin", since this also has direct effects on the heart. In addition, there is no safe way to use these products.
Persons who may have obtained "Stone" or "Coffin" should immediately stop using them. (BGIS)

I cant help but wonder if this isnt a conspiracy by the big pharmaceuticals fi get man fi stop use the tried and true legacy solutions. Just like how dem have young pickney a eat french fries and burger instead a eat yam, banana and curry chicken.

Man no fi go a no pharmacy. Just go a market or down a di corner shop and hold some brush or one stone.
