Martin Kemp Reveals That He Had A Space Cake At His Wedding

Martin Kemp Reveals That He Had A Space Cake At His Wedding

Bassist in Spandau Ballet, Martin Kemp, has revealed that his wedding cake was made with cannabis.

As a result, all his guests were high as kites during the reception.

Sadly, there's no chance of him cutting us a slice as his wedding was back in 1988. He married Shirlie Holliman in St Lucia, but returned to celebrate with friends at an impromptu reception.

Someone made them a three-tier wedding cake but neglected to mention that it was a space cake.

He told The Sun: "It was beautiful, like one of those old-fashioned three-tier things with a big old base on it and with ribbons hanging off and columns.

"There was a man and woman at the top and it was traditional but somebody else had made it... the whole thing was made of dope.

"The whole thing was a space cake. People were walking around my house off their faces.

"It went on for hours and hours.

"But I'll tell you something, it was the only cake where we had adults queuing up to take a bit home."

Well fair enough.

But what exactly does weed do to your body? Did you know, for instance, that weed lingers in your system longer than most other drugs and can still be detected in your urine, blood and hair for up to 90 days after lighting up?

BRAIN

Smoking weed fucks up the way your brain processes information. It contains about 60 types of cannabinoids, chemical compounds that act on receptors throughout our brain.

These make the neurons go off on one, making you ask questions like "If you were born deaf, what language would you think in?"

But having too much makes you ask questions like "What if finding the meaning of life is the meaning of life?" and leaves you feeling paranoid and sketchy.

HEART

Only minutes after hitting the blunt, your heart rate increases by 20 to 50 beats per minute.

This can continue from 20 minutes to three hours later, which for reference, is either the length of a sitcom, or The Wolf Of Wall Street.

EYES

Weed makes blood vessels expand, which then makes your eyes go red and dilates your pupils.

It also affects the parts of your brain that processes what you see, resulting in hilarious hallucinations.

Depending on the strength, this can range from moving wallpaper to a dancing slice of pizza.

STOMACH

People who smoke weed - known on the street as cannabis-enthusiasts or weed-lovers - get what's called the "munchies", making them capable of eating an entire crisps aisle in ASDA.

A study that looked into weed's effect on mice discovered that the drug flips a switch in the brain that is usually responsible for controlling your appetite.

LONG-TERM EFFECTS

Zoot-crazed users who blaze it at least three times a day have smaller grey matter volumes in their orbitofrontal cortex - the part of the brain linked to addiction.

Caucasian users in particular are prone to growing dreadlocks and convincing themselves George Bush did 9/11.

However, keen usage does go hand-in-hand with greater connectivity in the brain.

Perhaps the most notable effect of marijuana is how medical forms improves the appetite of those experiencing sickness through chemotherapy.

So there you have it. Not all bad after all.
