Actor's Son Is Now Recovering Addict

POSTED: 3:32 p.m. EST October 28, 2002

NEW YORK -- Melanie Griffith is now sorry she smoked pot with her son Alexander.

Griffith told More magazine that she thought if she smoked with her son he wouldn't buy drugs on the street. She said that philosophy "backfired" because he got hooked on drugs anyway.

Griffith said Alexander is now a recovering addict. She said she definitely won't share drugs with her other two kids.

What does she do to ensure he doesn't get involved in incest?

Or gun safety...

[anniegetyourgun]

Too bad it took the endangerment of her son for her to come to a place of what used to be called 'common sense'....

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Moronic and mentally deficient Melanie bump

[joesnuffy]

She smoked pot for the 'sake of the children'
what a blankety blank moron

[Taliesan]

In other news, the Associated Press is reporting that you can be a rich actress while having no measurable I.Q.

She has something like three kids to three different fathers.

Way to parent there, Mom.

[Psycho Francis]

Hey, at least she was married to the fathers.....

[Ditter]

I can remember the same thing said about drinking. Didn't work there either.

At the news conference Melanie Griffith also stated she oppossed military action in Iraq. She said we should all listen to her because she is an actress in Hollywood, has good common sense, and knows what she is talking about. ;-)

When I was little, my mom smoked Winstons (tobaco cigarettes). I asked my mom if I could try it. I was about 4 or 5 years old. She gave me a puff, to which I immediately coughed and gagged. I never smoked or even took a puff on another cigarette (tobaco or otherwise) the rest of my life.

I attribute that one horrible experience to what turned me off to cigarettes forever after.

Giving your child a puff of a cigarette for the purposes of turning them off to the idea of smoking is a little different than teaching them to "pass the dutchie on the left hand side".

[pjd]

Granted.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

I don't see what the problem is. I mean, everybody knows that pot isn't addictive and doesn't lead to harder drug use. Just ask our libertarian friends.

[trebb]

So...she won't share with her other kids.... I don't suppose QUITTING would be in the cards???

[VRWC_minion]

One wonders how she managed the teen age sex issue.

[xJones]

I presume she's opposed to murdering people on the streets also. This could get grisly.

[LaraCroft]

Oh come on... most drug users smoke cigarettes, so if you are going to argue a gateway drug, it is def. nicotine.

A lot of pot smokers never go on to anything else, but every alcohol or heroin user I've ever seen smokes cigarettes.

Using the drug argument the same way the liberals use the gun argument doesn't have much logic to it. So many people can own guns and just a few can commit crimes is logical but every person that smokes pot is heading for drug pergatory?

We have to apply our rights logically and evenly.. you can't argue guns and drugs differently. Freedom from people not letting you do what they don't FEEL is right is what we are fighting for.

Using Melanie's logic, maybe if she had sex with him, he wouldn't go out and knock up some girl.

(Which, obviously, you thought of with comment #1 which I hadn't read. Sorry!)
