Actually, drugs aren’t the new black. Not if live in Hollywood, at least.
Even before there were talk shows or paparazzi, celebs were using – and boasting – about their drug use.
This week alone, the community-at-large was regaled (note – sarcasm) with tales of drug use from Cameron Diaz, Cory Monteith and Lindsey Lohan. And, if you managed to miss any of their stories, there was one nearly impossible to ignore – the tragic end of Jackass star Ryan Dunn’s life. His car was obliterated in a fatal crash that also killed his passenger, and his blood alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit.
Sure, for Diaz and Monteith, there were happy Hollywood endings to their tales of drug use.
And even though she is under house arrest and did jail time, Lohan is still alive.
But the bottom line is drugs kill. Dunn’s family and friends are dealing with this sad fact right now.
So, while celebs will most likely continue to talk about drugs as if they are the new black no matter what the season, you don’t have to.
Get smart. Get educated. Get a clue.
Plenty of resources available to help – just take a look.
