Not going to happen. Drugs the foundation of their culture because it is the only way they can bury their heads in the sand.
Point taken, though to me asking the folks in Hollywood to speak out against the dangers of drugs would be like asking a whore to speak out against the dangers of VD.
An excellent point. Hollywood is reaping what it has sown.
Those who are gifted with the talent to sing, dance, act or otherwise entertain are very fortunate. Through some combination of genetics, skill, practice, and determination they have the potential to lead exceptionally successful and fulfilling lives. If they instead throw it all away because of addiction, it’s is society’s loss as well.
It’s a shame everytime a life is wasted, celebrity or not, but even more of a tragedy to see an industry that embraces and encourages such life-destroying behavior when it has the power to do the exact opposite.
To steal from Dennis Leary...
We can’t do any drugs, Hollywood already did them all, there’s none left.
Sounds like a reasonable plan.

‘Twould seem that Hollywood’s fascination with drugs is doing a lot to help raise the country’s IQ.
the libertarian side of me always leaned toward legalizing. At this point, I am beginning to re-think this.
P*t is a gateway drug... there is NO question about it. Not a gateway for everyone, I understand that, but I fear that we will have millions upon millions of addicts, to harder drugs... I am concerned about the numbers.
In order for that to change you'll need to speak w/ the entity holding the mortgage.
From what I hear he can be hard to bargain with.
Well, if they didn’t make so many movies and TV shows glorifying drug use (and even drug sales and drug sellers), that might be a start.
How about A-Rod Hollywood! You can be in a movie or TV show or cut an album for 2 years if you test positive for drugs
sorry can’t be
That would be like snapping your fingers and making the Fukushima radiation go away.
I agree with you. There is scarcely anything happening on the crime blotter where I live where drugs (and particularly heroin) are not a factor.

Not a new problem. I saw an old Charlie Chaplin movie on TV in which THE LITTLE TRAMP accidentally sets down on a syringe of heroin with comic results.
Sadly I think you’re right. The country is in a drug induced coma and they don’t care what is happening as long as their twitter and facebook accounts are working.
Hollywood, is the opium of the people. Heck, it makes opium the religion.
