Eric Roberts in 'Rehab' for Rx Marijuana Habit

Eric Roberts moved into Dr. Drew Pinsky's Pasadena Recovery Center last week for a crippling addiction to prescription marijuana, his wife has revealed.
The 'Pope of Greenwich Village' actor has been off hard drugs and alcohol for 15 years, Eliza Roberts tells
E! News. "He has no interest in anything, other than marijuana."
Roberts has anxiety issues, so he turned to doctor-prescribed weed for relief after traditional medication did not agree with his body. He had no such issue with the marijuana. "However, a dependency is a dependency and he doesn't want to be dependent on it anymore."
A rep for the actor has already tried to downplay Eliza Roberts' revelation, saying the actor is seeking help "not for any serious drug/substance, or prescription drug abuse problem.
The 'Celebrity Rehab' cast also includes reality TV star, Jason Wahler, Tiger Woods' mistress, Rachel Uchitel and 'Party of Five' star Jeremy London.
"Eric Roberts is my roommate and is simply amazing. He's an incredible person." London told RadarOnline.com. He went on to say the cast is "unbelievably cool," and are all "getting along beautifully."
"Dr. Drew rocks and there is real healing here," London said.
Roberts is the father of Emma Roberts, an young actress who most notably played Nancy Drew on the big screen and also starred opposite her famous aunt in the 2010 romantic comedy, 'Valentine's Day.'

PROPAGANDA ALERT. This is foolishness, Cannabis is non addicting. About the only thing he will go through is restless sleeping. Thats some withdraw. Is no wonder Medical MJ is gaining in every state with Cali looking to Legalize this Nov,and this hasbeen brother of a famous actress needs help with MJ, how convenient

Exactly right. Pot is not addictive. I smell the renwal of that old argument by govt, officials that pot is a gateway drug, and now they have Roberts to hold up as their so-called proof.
I think that you are correct that pot is not addictive physically, however, some ppl have very addictive personalities, thus they get mentally addicted easily to things, they crave it. I get hooked on energy drinks, coffee, whatever, and i have to be careful. Might sound dumb, but it's true, and i'm not the only one by far.
PS-I thought i should mention that i am pro-legalization of pot, i understand that it's my addictive personality that is the problem, not the pot. I think they should legalize and get on with the real problems out there!
Marijuana for anxiety issues? There are many drugs he can take for anxiety and they all have side effects for him? I don't believe it.

THIS is the best way to get your name mentioned in the "news?"

What a wuss. Rehab for marijuana use? It's more like rehab for publicity.

Eric either you are the weakest man in the world, or a retard.
If he think that he was hooked on pot there has to be mental
problems lending to the need to believe he is addicted to some-
thing.

I'm somewhat confused about the "cast" thing. Is he in a rehab center to get well or is this a show thing? His roommate, Jeremy London, says the "cast" is great. Maybe I'm missing something. I expect one of you really "smart" people to set set me straight. :)
