Hillbilly heroin addiction: How rude!

1 February 2006 :: By Chris Coleman

Jodie Sweetin, meth fiendI admit that sometimes I do dumb shit when I get bored. I also admit that I’ve gotten drunk and chatted with other drunk friends online because I had nothing planned for the evening.

For former child stars, getting drunk just doesn’t cut it. For them, robbing a liquor store is a more appropriate way to reduce boredom. But sometimes you just don’t feel like leaving the house. So then what do you do? Why, lots and lots of meth, of course!

Former Full House star Jodi Sweetin, who’s still surprisingly hot, and apparently not missing any teeth yet, admitted today on ABC’s Good Morning America that she was a raging meth fiend for two years.

two years ago, she found herself dangerously addicted to one of the most debilitating drugs, methamphetamine. She said she was unemployed and bored and began simply by experimenting. Soon, she was using meth everyday.

The tabloid press reported a three-day bender as well as an intervention staged by her “Full House” castmates — including the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, John Stamos and Bob Saget.

I’m glad she’s apparently clean and looking for work now, but I think the real icing on the cake is the fact that it took a real-life episode of Full House to get her back on off the wagon.

Let the countdown to the inevitable Lifetime movie begin.

  1. Seems the children of Full House went one of two ways: drugs or bad Christian tv/movies.

    I am undecided as to which is the poorer decision.

  2. Ummmmm… Hillbilly Heroin refers to Oxycontin. Not meth. Meth makes you feel really hyper aware and full of energy. Herion has pretty much the opposite effect.

    I’d say that drugs is probably the better of the two choices Justin, it’s easier to get off drugs and live a normal life.

  3. Damn. Now that I think about it, you’re right. Oh well, close enough. It’s still a drug used primarily by backwoods primitives who can’t get their hands on anything better.

    Next time, I’ll be sure to check it out here.

  4. Things are pretty bad off when the Olsen twins are doing an intervention.

  5. I blame it all on Kimmy Gibbler…

  6. […] I was on FARK.com scouring for some fun and weird news and I came across Fosfor Gadgets’ Top 10 Wierdest USB Devices Ever list. I can’t help but ask, “Why oh why do some of these products exist?” Then I realized, with geeks like The Filter’sChris Coleman, there is always a market for anything that plugs into a ‘puter. […]

    I’m still focused on this line:”Former Full House star Jodi Sweetin, who’s still surprisingly hot”

    Still? So….you were able to toss aside the protruding jaw and the 10 year old-ness of her before and consider her hot? All I remember about this girl was that she was annoying, and had a lisp. She was always whining. Middle child thing, I guess.

  8. Chris - you should learn more about SMACK since you talk so much of it.
