Owen In Danger Of Relapsing!

Filed under: Owen Wilson

092406_spn_wilson06__opt.jpg

With the sudden and tragic death of Heath Ledger this is especially troubling!

Owen Wilson stunned us all when he attempted suicide last August and it was later revealed that he was struggling with a hardcore substance abuse problem.

Now, the actor is raising many red flags.

On January 17th, Wilson popped into Green House Smoke Shop in Venice, California, Life & Style reports.

"He was friendly," an insider tells the mag. “Owen spent 20 minutes in the Green House Smoke Shop browsing the pipes and bongs. He bought one of the biggest bongs and spent almost $300 on it."

Owen seemed concerned about not being spotted. “He was worried that someone might have seen him coming out,” the insider says. "He hid behind a FedEx truck for 30 seconds before darting to his car!”

While marijuana is not heroin….STILL.

Wilson shouldn't be doing anything!

Hopefully Owen will get his shit sorted out, for his own good.

    23

    Now listen Perez, I love you, and I love all your posts, but this is BULLSHIT. Marijuana should be legal anyway, and I think it's really low of you to post about a guy going into a head shop to buy a bong, WHO GIVES A FUCK!? You don't know shit about weed or the hundreds of amazing things it can improve in your life. It's NOT a drug, and I hope Owen smokes it forever. If anything weed de-stresses you and would prevent suicide. LEAVE POT SMOKERS ALONE!

  24. Jen says – reply to this


    24

    You're right Perez weed isn't heroin, so layoff. Legalize it!

  25. J says – reply to this


    25

    What the hell, Perez? I usually love your bitchy comments, queeny, but you went too far with this one. Living in LA, you should know about the medicinal marijuana patients. I bet you all of your advertising income that Owen smokes marijuana for depression. I'm glad he got a sick bong, too.

    Weed is NO heroin!!!

    so maybe he happened to find, or re-discover something that gives him joy without harming him. back the fuck off.

  28. Tahlia says – reply to this


    28

    you fucking uneducated morons. If you knew ANYTHING you would know Perez is right. Marijuana causes and deepens depression and can surface and underlying mental illness so go to fucking school and get educated before sprouting your wisdom over the internet. didnt your mother ever tell you not to comment on something you know nothing about?

    31

    Now tisk, tisk Perez……I would have thought that you were just a bit more educated and opened minded about marijuana. There is actually a law in your state that allows use for medicinal purposes. With all the stress, heartache and such this man has seen, it's no wonder he needs a bleezy every now and then. SHEESH……LOLOLOL

  32. dumb says – reply to this


    32

    weed does'nt make you suicidal.

  33. Tahlia says – reply to this


    33

    And no pot did not ever kill anyone BUT things people have done whilst under the influence of pot have killed MILLIONS of people, so smart asses suck that one up.

  34. wow says – reply to this


    34

    wow, okay. so weed might not kill you, but do you really think being addicted to a narcotic is going to help owen deal with his problems??? one drug often leads to another. maybe instead of trying to escape problems using drugs, try facing them/getting counseling or SOMETHING non drug related.

    i hope nothing bad happens to owen!

  35. dumb says – reply to this


    35

    i doubt you have room to talk.

  36. Jen says – reply to this


    36

    But if he was going to shell out that much cash for a smoking device, he should have gotten a Volcano Vaporizer. Seriously!

  37. sam says – reply to this


    37

    he needs to be clean and clear to fully recover from depression

  38. Savina says – reply to this


    38

    I hope that the bong serves him well. As someone that struggles with both bi-polar tendencies and the fine line of addiction, I am all too well aware of the "sanctity" that weed can provide when you're in a tough spot. Yes, it might impede motivation and turn you into a virtual hermit, but sometimes we all need a bit of "me" time, non? Positivity to Owen.

  39. JK says – reply to this


    39

    Big deal! Let the guy smoke, so many people do it! Smoking probably helps him stay sane

  40. ummm says – reply to this


    40

    weed isn't addictive, it's impossible to od on it, and it's completely natural. it's not at all a drug, it's a medicine. and who is going to honestly say that weed is worse for you than alcohol? decriminalize and legalize it!

  41. someone says – reply to this


    41

    Perez, this sounds if not hyppocritical, very missinformed.
    Weed is not only an anti-depressant, but also healthier then any pill one could pop out there.
    Stick to what you know best; hair coloring and ring tones.

  42. Lisa says – reply to this


    42

    Most smokers would say weed is therapeutic for the mind and the body. Also, I think we all knew Owen's 420 status when we saw him wearing that t-shirt and when he went on vacation with Woody.
    Perez, you're being a bit dramatic and really just adding to Owen's troubles. Let the man have peace. And Life & Style is garbage. Not worth the paper its printed on.

    I don't know Owen, but I do know that marijuana is sometimes medically advised and even prescribed (in Canada anyway) for patients treating a chemical addiction like cocaine. Methadone isn't the only route.

  45. ember says – reply to this


    45

    jeez, let him smoke his herb- if the whole damn world did it would be so much more peaceful

  46. Jane says – reply to this


    46

    To Tahlia:
    You accuse people on this site of being uneducated, but you are the one who is uneducated. Marijuana has never been shown to cause depression. Depression is caused by many things, but smoking pot certainly does not cause it. As for deepening it, this may be the case for some people depending on how it affects them on an individual basis. However, marijuana is NOT classified as a depressant like alcohol is. Your run on sentence not only does not make much sense, it is incorrect. Please cite some evidence or statistics if you are going to claim that people under the influence of pot have killed millions of people! What are you talking about, did your parents tell you that? Maybe you should not comment on a subject which you obviously are uneducated about, you only make YOURSELF look ignorant. PS Maybe it's time for YOU to go back to school!

  47. bboibreks says – reply to this


    47

    It's harm reduction. I've known quite a few friends who have downgraded to pot and never had any serious relapses on anything more serious (i.e. meth, alcohol).

  48. gaz says – reply to this


    48

    for god's sake, it's ONLY weed, as if he will kill himself with a little pot. EVERYONE has a bong/pipe of some kind. BIG FUCKING DEAL. let him chill. the reason why he's stressed is because people like YOU, yes You PEREZ, are after him pissing him off and saying bullshit. anyways, respect for owen wilson.

  49. kathy says – reply to this

    let Owen smoke weed in peace like all us porhead do!!! it wont kill him or harm him…. SO LET HIM GET AS HIGH AS HE WANTS!

    54

    Cut the guy some slack….
    There are no reported OD's or erratic behaviors associated with the use of cannabis.
    Thats why is is legal in our fine state with an Rx.
    I'm in recovery myself from alcohol so I know the power of addiction first hand.
    He is obviously doing the best he can and I wish him the best.
    You should too!

  55. Extil3 says – reply to this


    55

    I smoke weed everyday, and I'm fine, and have had no want for anything else. I'm stoned right now! Marajuana is not all that bad, and most people that smoke it have no serious side effects, other than sleepiness, and/or paranoia. The guy was probably stoned when he bought the bong, that would explain the 30 seconds of hiding behind the fed ex truck, LOL. But anyways owen's cool, he'll handle it. Also as for all you people freaking out about Perez posting this. It got him alot more hits on his site, and thats his only intention, he'll post anything thats celebrity related, so don't be surprised if he posts something less interesting.

  56. cocogirl says – reply to this


    56

    Uhm…I have never smoked weed in my life but I grew up trimming it with my parents and every single person I know has smoked it at least once. To tell you the truth, I really see it as the lesser of every intoxicant out there. I have never met a suicidal weed only abuser. Sorry Perez you are so wrong on this one. Every bad stigma associated with marijuana is perpetuated by hype such as the type you are spewing.

  57. cloudy says – reply to this


    57

    marjiuana is not that bad, man. my father was a heavy alcohol addict and he almost died, but fortunately he hit the road. against his depressions he now likes to smoke marjuana. not every day but if he feels there will come some dark clouds in his head, he smokes and than he is doing much better. I think it saved his life and made his life more liveable. and perhaps it is the best thing owen wilson can do also. and perhaps much more people should smoke marjiuana to feel better. but it is illegal and that sucks because alcohol is still legal. SICK SICK SICK THATS SICK!

    As long as kids aren't doing it while their brains are still in development, there's nothing wrong with weed. Although nicer to eat than smoke.

  59. Pop Culture says – reply to this


    59

    Hello Perez ~ I think it's time to let these stars and celebrities do their thing. It's great that you're reporting what's going on with them, but I don't think you're helping them in any way stay clean and/or sober. I knew Heath well and he found your cruel exploitation of people's weaknesses particularly inhumane. Don't pretend you're doing "good" and helping people when you're really harming sensitive, dedicated artists. Leave Owen alone. You're not going to save him. And as for Britney…you deserve the blame for her daily meltdowns…you are perpetuating the problem by rehashing her behavior on your site. Don't take this the wrong way, I have respect for your success, but look at what you're doing…Anna Nicole, now Heath…when or where will you stop. Let these artists be artists…quit trying to micro-manage their personal lives.

  61. sauvage says – reply to this


    61

    To compare Owen Wilson smoking weed with Heath Ledger overdosing on sleeping pills ist just ridiculous. Yeah, you should not smoke too much pot because you might lose your motivation and smoking marijuhana every day for 25 years will destroy your brain cells eventually, but COME ON! You can't overdose on marjuhana. You can't overdose lethally. Owen Wilson suffers from depression and whatsoever, so please let him have his pot (for a while, I made my opinion on longterm abuse clear) to get over the alcohol and to rest. Give him a break.

  62. Jennifer says – reply to this


    62

    TYLER #24 rocks!! Pro-Marijuana!!!

    VOTE RON PAUL

    THE PRO-MARIJUANA VOTE!!! JUST LEGALIZE IT!!! BOB MARLEY SAID IT BEST AT" WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE THE LIFE I LEAD? I KNOW IM NOT PERFECT- AND I DONT LIVE TO BE, BUT BEFORE YOU START POINTING FINGERS MAKE SURE YOUR HANDS ARE CLEAN.

    Re: Extil3 – I agree, he knows that marijuana isnt dangerous; its bullshit to even call it a drug. So he did it to be outragous so that a million ppl will comment and be like.. "No pro marijuana" anyways im stoned right now and i will be again in an hour and I really dont see killing myself anytime soon execpt maybe passing out on this major bong hit im about to take RIP Heath

  64. cat says – reply to this

    Relapse????? Ummm no A little weed never hurt anyone. Perez maybe if you smoked it you would calm the fuck down.

  65. LA Girl says – reply to this


    65

    Weed is not the killer…I love weed…smoke it daily and have become very successful in life and guess what? No one even knows I am a major stoner! Why? Because it isn't that big of a deal! In my younger days I did many "hard core" drugs…and they will F you up big time…but weed is not the enemy. If it was legal think of the tax base that it would provide…a tax I would happily pay. But kids listen…Drugs is what college is for!!!!!!!!! Graduate from HS before you try anything!

  66. AngieBaby says – reply to this


    66

    Maybe the weed is medicinal.

    Maybe he smokes it so he will stay mellow and happy and not be tempted go on an alcohol or cocaine bender or kill himself.

  67. jane says – reply to this


    67

    the bong could be used the smoking tobacco. Not every bong is used for smoking drugs. Ive smoked my good amount of drugs, an weed is not even that bad!! I support all the drug smokers in Hollywood!

    dude its just weed, most recovering addicts smoke weed its not that big of a deal

  69. Va J-J says – reply to this


    69

    Nobody ever died of smoking weed!! If that were true, I would have died 30 years ago. 30 years of smoking good green has not hurt me a bit. It does not lead to hard drugs, that's just a line of shit the govt feeds us because they are shitty about not getting their hands in the profit.

    you're right, weed isn't heroin. all its going to do is make him less anxious, happy, maybe even a little hungry. oh and sleepy, he'll probably want to take a nap. at least he's getting a bong so it's not as bad for his lungs

    Re: LuvPerez – Yeah, any psychologist would make less money medicating patients on weed! They would be out of a job in no time, not because it's idiotically concidered illegal but because people would not need them.

    How do you know what Owen is doing? this story sounds like a bunch of crock. I've never seen a fedex truck parked for a half hour. You're doing all kind of shit and food is your biggest problem, but nobody reports it because u are a nobody. Sites like yours send people over the edge by constantly putting their business in the street.

    WHAT? He's smoking pot SO WHAT!? It's not a relapse drug. It's not anything. It helps so much to keep calm and not go after real drugs. Now if he's drinking alcohol that's a different story.

    91

    shut the hell up perez. weed is NOT a hard drug. if this is all he is doing I see it as basically harmless. shit, it's used as medicine for many people. do you know anything perez? stop being so damn judgemental. let the man smoke his herb. he probably needs something just to soothe his mind. Hell, alcohol addiction is a million times worse and more dangerous, but if he was caught at a bar, who would've said shit?!!

  95. Phoenix says – reply to this


    95

    Good god. You are exactly correct when you say pot is not heroin becuase its not! He's probably always been a pot head. Just because he bought a big bong does not mean he's going to take one hit and say to himself…"I'd like to shoot heroin!" Come on……

  96. lainiediamond says – reply to this


    96

    Marijuana is a plant, created by God. It's a lot safer than any pill that was created in a lab by Man and sold by pharmaceutical companies. Pills like Zoloft cause people to be suicidal and that is a FACT. Maybe Owen is trying to medicate himself for depression in a safer way that doesn't make him feel like KILLING HIMSELF like he tried to do when he was on anti-depressant prescription drugs.

  97. Mattiavelli says – reply to this


    97

    Perez- when did anyone ever OD on weed? There are worse habits you could have- like sleeping pills!

  98. crotch rot says – reply to this


    98

    This is SO FUCKING IGNORANT, suggesting that someone buying a bong means they're in danger of a relapse. Pot is safe, enjoyable, non-addictive and MEDICINAL for nausea, pain and depression. It's a GOOD THING that Owen's doing this. Jeezus, you stupid fuck! Quit spreading that bullshit "Just Say No" crap and do your fucking research. Alcohol is WAY more harmful and dangerous. Pot is an HERB and not a fucking "gateway drug." DUMB DOUCHEBAG.

  99. Landrie says – reply to this


    99

    oh who cares… let the man smoke some good stuff. it'll probably make him feel better.

  100. Carling says – reply to this

    Umm…smoking weed is a red flag?? Then I should've been dead years ago. Let the guy smoke weed, it makes you happy, and it's much better than the other drugs he's done. Who doesn't indulge every so often?
