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.

Really? Marijuana?
I want to see him go though withdrawals. Ooo I had a lucid dream last night.
Scary stuff that marijuana.

I love the film THE COCA COLA KID.

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