Cameron Douglas's Narc Secret Spilled In Court

Cameron Douglas, son of actor Michael Douglas, was going to be a narc! He was busted with half a pound of meth at the Gansevoort Hotel last year and placed under house arrest, where his girlfriend then smuggled him heroin. Yesterday at a bail hearing his shrink let slip that he was only ever released to house arrest "because he was going to be an informant." The statement was stricken from the record, and his lawyers argued that he should be let go pending sentencing (in April) to undergo treatment for heroin addiction. The judge deferred a ruling, and his lawyer later stated, "Obviously, we continue to be at odds with the government."

Another wonderful success story of the idiotic war on drugs....or as his dad said in Traffic a war on our families and friend

Prohibition makes gangsters rich but increaes drug harm and use.

Half pound?! That's 223 grams, was that for personal use? That's 223 of my mid 90s high school weekends to finish that off!

"was that for personal use?"

He's charged with possession with intent to distribute, and prosecutors say that over the course of a three year investigation he's distributed several pounds of meth and coke.
