Busted for Dealing
Cameron Douglas is yet another Hollywood statistic, as he’s another notorious celebuspawn. This troubled son of veteran actor, Michael Douglas has dabbled in meth and heroin. In 2007, Cameron was arrested for cocaine possession in a motel in Santa Barbara. Police found Cameron and a friend with a syringe of liquid cocaine. In 2009, Cameron was arrested again but this time, on charges of dealing methamphetamines. Instead of spending money setting up a drug deal in an upscale NY hotel, what Cameron needs is effective addiction therapy services.

Should Cameron Get Addiction Treatment Instead?
Late last month, Cameron and his legal team went as far as to blame Michael Douglas for his legal troubles and addiction. Since when is it acceptable for a 31 year old man to blame his dad for his woes? Earlier this year, as Cameron faced drug trafficking charges, his girlfriend attempted to smuggle him some heroin as he was under house arrest. Yeah, I’m sure that was all Michael’s fault too… Later in April, Cameron faces a minimum jail sentence of at least 10 years. It’s sad to see that this Douglas is facing more time than a rapist. There is even a Facebook Cause urging addiction treatment instead of jail time.

A Failure at Trying a Drug Treatment Program
While Cameron is in desperate need of a drug treatment program, we’ll see how things wind down for him in the upcoming weeks. Many opponents say that drug addiction shouldn’t be treated as a criminal matter, but rather a medical one. Sure, he’s shipped meth via FedEx, but do you think Cameron deserves another chance? What do you think about this alternative solution?
