You know exactly what I'm talking about. Drews opinion on drugs are always hyperbole and I know its not because he believes that its because he believes in the Hippocratic Oath to a fault and doesn't want to be doctor that says drugs in moderation are OK. Even though he sometimes does.

Drew got so much better looking with age, wow. Regarding Drew's talking points and hyperbole on drugs, I remember when Adam used to say something like "If you're starting out as a genius, you can afford to do a little weed (or whatever.) But if you're at the level of [some retarded caller who can barely string a sentence together] yeah you're better off trying to keep what braincells you have and not adding to your problems with mind altering substances," and Drew pretty much agreed with that. But he sees so much addiction in his practice, and I don't think he'd really feel good about condoning, over the air, recreational drug use (in moderation) even though-- The Senate posted:Even though he sometimes does. yeah.

The Senate posted:Marijuana is PROFOUNDLY, PROFOUNDLY, addicting. He usually ends that statement with 'for certain people.' Drew generally makes a distinction between non-addicts and the people with the genetic potential for it. I remember a conversation between him and Adam about what drugs you absolutely cannot use recreationally and I think they concluded that only heroin and crack fell under that category.

Anything the guy has said in the past twenty years has been pure sour grapes. Oh, and "Luvchat".

And if it were Adam, or even Rachtman saying it, everyone would shrug and say "fine". But since it's Poorman you can't believe it because he's such a loving scumbag. Drew has talked about smoking a little weed, and in Playboy talked about how hard it is for him to even enjoy a glass of wine in public without feeling like he's going to be put through the ringer. Some people (and even Drew sometimes) see most recreational drug use as abuse, even if he says "hey, if it didn't hurt you I'd have no opinion! Have fun!"

I don't think its unsettling that Drew experimented a little when he was young, but to accuse him of consistent coked-out benders is unfounded and just sounds like a has-been spewing bitter grapes. Do some of you guys really think Drew leads some sort of "do as I say.." double life, while casually lighting up and taking a few snorts, while waggling his finger at everyone?

Even if he doesn't qualify it with "if you have the genes for addiction tendency" he's said it enough times to make his stance on the issue clear. It should be obvious that doing drugs in moderation is certainly not ok for some people, since so many people call in with stories about being prescribed opiates and taking 40-50 of them a day shortly after. He doesn't draw a distinction between alcohol and other drugs either, and if you've older than 10 you've probably realized that some people can handle it in moderation, and some people get profoundly addicted just because of the way their brain is wired.

I once objected to Dr. Drew saying marijuana is addictive but then I got high. When Donny does his "Dr. Drew, let me ask you a question" and everyone knows it's going to actually be some "isn't it true?" statement on how marijuana isn't addictive, I find it uncomfortably familiar. I'm not as hapless as Donny, but it sounds like something I might have said when I was younger. Then they go into the "It's never the marijuana" bit: "I can't find my car keys, but it has nothing to do with weed" and "I overslept by 2 hours but it has nothing to do with being high all night last night" and that hit close to home too. Marijuana addicts love to deny that the obvious results of their addiction have anything to do with weed. They also love to point out that marijuana isn't addictive so they can deny their addiction.

Lots of people lose their keys that do and don't do drugs just as there's lots of people that go to work on time that may or may not do drugs. A lot of times, the latter issue is due to a lack of maturity. As for the former, in many cases they have a leprechaun living in their house and one of the games they like to play is to hide keys and stuff.

I don't think Adam realizes how much of a factor the sheer luck of meeting Jimmy was in providing him with all the opportunities he has had in his life. Even his ongoing success in broadcasting is largely based around the lucky fact that Drew plays such a natural straight-man and hardly a product of his own hard work given his attitude towards Loveline. The fanbase created during those years has been the main reason he has had a semi-successful career after Loveline at all. I am sure some loved his work afterwards on its own merits but they pale in comparison to those that prefer his work on Loveline. This was all just sparked by one of his bootstraps rants. The way he talks about it makes it seem as if Adam honestly believes that there is more separating him from being dirt poor than just sheer luck. The tremendous talent that got him that sitcom he was working on perhaps? The Hammer has been the only halfway decent thing he has ever produced on his own and it is clear that by his own means he could not have accomplished even half of what he has accomplished in his life.

Then we show him his 2005-2010 gross income. I don't think he would change a thing.

Well he does have a point that you can't depend on luck, you do need to work at it. He put in his time at the Groundlings learning improv and was proactive about pursuing that job teaching Jimmy. But he ignores that all his effort was paired with a very lucky break and meeting the right guy at the right time.
