• Sounds like another self aggrandizing ego driven chest beater. "I know what is best for you, you poor addict" I have never taken drugs and it doesn't make me any better or worse than anyone. I think it is all well and good to discriminate the differences among each other that exist. To judge them to me, is wrong. And to that note, my statement is only my opinion, it is worth what you would pay for it. No more no less.

• Dr. Drew needs to have his license revoked. People who are dependent on any substance need therapy, not jail. Calling them junkies assumes some moral superiority, based on the idea that no one should pursue pleasure, which is rooted in Biblical nonsense. People are dependent on insulin, antidepressants, etc and no one calls them names for it. People go to narcotics because their neuroreceptors are insufficient. Narcotics used to be prescribed for depression, until the phony War on Drugs was declared. People need help with dependency, not jail and name calling. Dr. Drew is a fraud.

• Why doesn't someone just call Dr. Drew out for the retarded quack he is?

• LOL, I just noticed this fucking joke of a website. What a waste of my time.

• I love it when people pretend to know more than a doctor. Dr. Drew may be very vocal but the doesn't beat around the bushes. This actress is a junkie, let the man talk and everybody shut the f***k up unless you're a doctor too. The sad part is that he's one of the few who give a f***k about her.

• Thank you for writing this article, Steve. It is a good expose on Dr. Drew. I did sign the petition.

• I never had any respect for Dr. Drew. He is a hypocrite.

• as a recovering alcoholic I see the validity in Dr. Drew's statement. Drugs and alcohol is a disease, and will kill--without consequence there is no reason to stop. death becomes a welcomed reality. if someone is on a destructive path family(if the individual is lucky enough to still have a family) may have to make hard desicions--some of which may result in legal consequences. it took being handcuffed in my parents home to finally find my bottom. dr. drew has seen this ugly, insidious disease first-hand and is only trying to help the best he can.

• Looks like Dr Drew isn't the only one having knee-jerk reactions. THe comment says "if she was my daughter" a parent might act differently than the required course for a Dr. Nowhere is anything told that resembles him telling he condones framing people for drugs as treatment. The headline here is an over-sensationalized work, much like the article itself. I read this site because it isn't usually just jump on the bandwagon type crap, please keep it that way.

• I doubt that at any point in time Dr. Drew said "Here is my recommended solution for drug addiction...". What he was commenting was a hypothetical scenario in an entertainment venue. OF COURSE it would be stupid to really do something like that. But again, Dr. Drew gives the populace at large the benefit of the doubt and assumes they'll recognise hyperbole when they here it. And of course, no one ever does. Also, Drew isn't responsible for the casts of the shows he hosts, he just does what he can with them according to his contract. If anyone who has commented here would actually listen to Loveline or read one of his books, you'd know that this is a person who wants to help people. After all, he does still maintain a position as an actual doctor at a family practise facility.

• Yeah, not too bright Dr.Drew. You can get pretty much any drug you want in jail. My brother is a heroin addict and gets heroin in jail.

• I have listened to Dr. Drew's radio show "Love Line" and watched many of his TV shows like "Sober House"; believed he was truly trying to help people until... Prior to this ridiculous remark I believe the latest incarnation of "Celebrity Rehab" and "Sober House" was filled with incompatible celebrities just for ratings! What "Addiction Specialist" puts a divorced couple, a pro basketball star ordered by the courts to go but does not admit he has a problem, a couple other celebrities who have bailed on previous shows or been thrown out, and a slew of other characters that anyone with common sense would know do not get along. In addition people who failed drug tests and were obviously detoxing were left in an "Outpatient" setting to withdraw rather than going to "Detox" and "Inpatient" before turning them loose in Hollywood! These people have serious problems and putting them into a situation like this show is just asking for "DRAMA"! Not helping anybody but the network in my opinion :( Please apologize for this utter nonsense Dr. Drew and get back to basics...12 step programs are great for some but look into "Smart Recovery"; an REBT program based on Ellis theories...science works better than spirituality on some. Peace

• Thank you, Steve. What a money-grubbing dick this guy...
