Eric Roberts' Celebrity Rehab Addiction: Medical Marijuana

E! Online:

So what exactly led Eric Roberts--aka Julia's older brother and Emma's dad--to shack up with such famous folks as Jeremy London, Janice Dickinson and Leif Garrett as part of the latest installment of VH1's Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew?

"Eric quit drugs and alcohol in 1995," the actor's wife, Eliza Roberts (an actress and casting director), tells E! News. "He has no interest in anything, other than marijuana."

Wow...wonder what Woody Harrleson thinks of Roberts addiction. Do you know how many celebrities are habitual users as well as everyday people?

"Addicted to marijuana"? Gimme a break. What Robert's addicted to is free publicity at any price. Really disappointed, Dude.

No one, in the history of the planet earth, has ever been addicted to marijuana. Care to know why? Because it's not possible to become addicted to a non-addictive plant.

physical vs mental addiction.

He could be mentally addicted. It's very possible that he's tired of waking up in a Laz-E-Boy covered in cheetos crumbs with taco bell fire sauce dripping from his mouth, but he just can't stop.

Addiction is a terrible thing, my heart goes out to him and his family, I hope he can pull through these troubled times.

Coca is a plant, is cocaine addiction fake too???

Coca is an addictive plant. There is a difference from non-addictive plants, see?

There is no such thing as marijuana addiction. Never has been, never will be.

If someone claims to be addicted to marijuana then yes, he is faking or lying.

You need therapy for your anxiety if you think it's not normal anxiety.

I think you need Celebrity Rehab for your career.

But puh-leez. Weed addiction is not a chemical physical addiction, it is a mental addiction, and it is society who places any anxiety on you about it's use. Weed is as addictive as chocolate and as 'damaging' except for when you lose your job or can't pass the test to get that job because of the intolerance and ignorance of society.

Sounds like his wife may be in denial.

Additionally, weed can be habit forming and yes many people neglect their families, jobs, homes when their marijuana use becomes problematic.

He is actually a really good actor. Too bad he has ruined himself and his career.

I love the film THE COCA COLA KID.

It is a masterpiece that he starred in back in the 80's.
