Lily Allen Slammed for Her Pro-Drug Comments

Filed under: Anglophilia > Drugs > Lily Allen

wenn5217547__opt.jpg

No surprise!

Government and anti-drug officials have lashed out at celebutard Lily Allen for her irresponsible 'pro drugs' comments.

As we mentioned earlier, in a new interview the the British brat said, "The only story is that drugs are bad and they will kill you - you will become a prostitute, a rapist or a dealer. But that's not true. I know lots of people who take cocaine three nights a week and get up and go to work. But we never hear that side of the story. I wish people wouldn’t sensationalise it. Some people are just bad at taking drugs."

To that, the UK's Shadow Home Secretary, Dominic Grieve, said her remarks were 'dangerous and stupid'.

"There is no doubt that drugs fuel crime and wreck lives. It's naive to assume there isn't human misery and suffering associated with every drug transaction somewhere along the line," said the government official.

The head of the British National Drug Prevention Alliance commented, "When someone like Lily Allen makes these remarks she is only harming young people. We already have a major drug culture in the UK and she is affecting that."

Lily, again, has succeeded in stirring up controversy and getting herself some attention!

Oh, yeah, she has a new album coming out soon.

What a coincidence!

  1. 1

    uugh she really has to keep her mouth shut and the vodka bottle closed if she wants to be anything inspiring..



  2. 2

    "Some people are just bad at taking drugs."

    That is true.



  3. 3

    she should have known……



  4. 4

    i want her to take these comments to the 6 year old son of a really good friend of mine who died suddenly as a direct result of taking too much cocaine. he thought exactly like lily - he had a steady job, nice family and all that. until one day he had a heart attack - completely outta the blue - age 26. you may feel ok, but you can't see whats going on inside your body until its too late. go tell his son that its ok to take drugs and daddys not coming back you stupid fucking bitch.



  5. 5

    coke = nasty 80's hack drug. pot = a-o.k. Get your shit straight Lilly!



  6. 6

    She is just a one hit wonder and she will go away. Stop trying to give her steam she she will go full force. What about K-Fed. Everyone keeps reporting on him. Is it true he is getting married to his new girl? You keep reporting on this want to bes and that keeps them in the media. Your the bad guys. There just stupid! I am so over Lily Allen Perez. Please. Do you read these comments. Maybe people should be over you!



  7. 7

    She's doing the LC tongue in the teeth smile lol. just saying



  8. 8

    thats probably the stupidest thing i've ever heard come from someone who was actually serious. only an IN DENIAL ADDICT would come up with such fuckery!….just to justify that they arent doing anything wrong! ridiculous!



  9. 9

    She should've kept those dumbass comments to herself, unless she was just trying to get publicity for her new album. Either way its dangerous and irresponsible to make statements like that.



  10. 10

    SHES SO FUCKING STUPID!!!



  11. 11

    Maybe Ms. Allen will have the pleasure of experiencing the dark side of cocaine and what they do to people and their families. I normally wouldn't wish the horribe things that I have experienced and seen coke addicts and their families go through, but to people like her who don't see what the problem is, I DO!



  12. 12

    You see children……………..

    Thats EXACTLY why you shouldn't take drugs……..becuase you end up a complete fucktard like Lily Allen.

    Thanks for this Perez……..Luv's ya.



  13. 13

    Good for her!



  14. 14

    what she said made perfect sense. The fact of the matter is that the majority of people who recreationally use drugs come to no harm at all. She's not denying that there is a dark side.



  15. 15

    She is an idiot.



  16. 16

    PENDEJA!



  17. 17

    Re: jessejames82 – you are sooo spot on i salute you - shes trying to justify her nasty little habit.



  18. 18

    I actually agree with every one of her comments. I've taken a few drugs here and there for fun, never wrecked my life. Just can't go overboard.



  19. 19

    I don't advocate heavy drugs (coke, heroin, meth…what have you) but I can udnerstand what she's saying if terms of weed. Seriously, there was no deep tragedy when I smoked last night and watched White Christmas. It was just a jolly old time. I go to school, I work, I'm a productive member of society…It's all about knowing limits and understanding recreation vs. addiction.

    20

    please! i know medical professionals that do hard drugs on a regular basis and they function. it's just a sham - there are people who can handle drugs and there are those that can't even handling shopping without turning it into an addiction that destroys their lives.



  21. 21

    Unfortunately MOST people are bad at taking drugs.. they do crazy shit like I dunno, turn into addicts! =P Bitch needs to shut her mouth sometimes, I really think alot of her celebrity persona is a big attention seeking act and her trying to come off as cool or "bad ass" to her fans, she's a fucking slob. The fact that she can't be responsible enough to keep her opinions to herself when they are obv. contradicting to the ideals most people want to instill in others when she is in the public eye, speaks volumes for her. I'm all for freedom of speech but MOST people can't do coke for three days and just resume their normal lives afterwards.

  22. Maxie says – reply to this


    22

    Didn't she say that Britney is more talented than Madonna? LOL What a whore!



  23. 23

    Come on now, she has a point! All anyone ever does is talk how bad drugs are. Think of all the good that could come if you just legalized it. Please,,,



  24. 24

    boy am i thankful my name isn't Lily Allen or Amy Wino. Those two define "trainwreck".



  25. 25

    will somebody put a muzzle on this dog before she barks anything else. she's an embarrassment to herself, her family and our country. i've never wanted to slap someone in the face so much.



  26. 26

    There are always exceptions to rules…our society is WAY too PC.

    Some sub-par songwriter doesn't mind drugs, what a huge fucking shock…get over it.

    Oh by the way - 'Perez' you give gay people a bad name by simply existing. I'm not even gay but I feel bad for gays all around the world having to be represented by filth such as yourself. Harvey Milk would be rolling in his grave if he knew you existed.

    You sir - are a blight on our world and are degrading culture.



  27. 27

    It's those of us that get addicted that are good..fucking great at taking drugs..duh!!!



  28. 28

    Lily should controdict herself by dying. How anyone can make a statement like that I don't know. UNLESS… she's on drugs! LOL! Nice cover up, sweetie. Cover your ass by talking about how ok it is to do coke 3x a week. She's such a no talent loser. She makes Britney look like the most together person on earth. Even Amy W. has more substance than this bitch! Fuck off and die, LILY!!!



  29. 29

    "contradict" I can't spell… but at least I'm not a coke head, lol.



  30. 30

    You retards aren't getting what she is trying to say.

    The point: People who use drugs aren't just the dregs of society. Drug users do cocaine and go to work and lead "normal" lives, and nobody is addressing that you don't have to be wallowing in the gutter to suffer from drug use, but those are the people who are sensationalized as users, portrayed as the only people who suffer, etc.

    Just because Lily is a vocal retard, doesn't mean so should we all be.



  31. 31

    I can't stand this dumb bitch already. She's sounds so ignorant. I had a friend that did coke and later that day he threw himself in front of a train. I've also had friends that would do cocaine and seem fine, but they're really not. They are hiding real pain and issues and it leads to other things. One of them actually DID become a prostitute for a while! Give it a few more years for your cool and collect friends that do coke 3 times a week Lily. This chick needs to get a crash course on drugs, maybe she needs the D.A.R.E program!

    I thought she was smarter then this I guess not!

    *Ciara ft Jeezy Never Ever is out and a hot slow jam check it out!*



  33. 33

    Re: midi – But do you know why they do it? You think because they are medical professionals that this indicates that they are fine? Oh my….I feel sorry for you if you really believe that, I hope you are being sarcastic.

  34. h311o says – reply to this


    34

    She's a lot more talented than the crap America spews. In a country where Miley Cyrus can be #1 selling artist, no wonder you jumped at the chance of Leona.
    Lily's only problem is that she is way too outspoken for her own good. But her new song 'The Fear' seems to say that she knows about her problems but there's nothing she can do about it.
    Lily's not a 1 hit wonder. People do still like her. And she has enough talent to keep going strong. Its the reality contestants that run out of steam in the end.



  35. 35

    Those who use drugs are running away from something or someone. Lily Allen ran away from her miscarriage and baby daddy just last year. What a tool.



  36. 36

    sorry folks…thing is……functional, productive people CAN and DO do drugs….it's those who don't know where to draw the line. you'd be surprised.



  37. 37

    hahaha that is a dumb thing to say, but its true. theres plently of ppl who do drugs and are completely normal and some ppl who let it ruin their lives. its obviously a good idea not to see which type of druggie you are tho!



  38. 38

    Dumbass



  39. 39

    Are you working for the US government now idiot? The war on drugs isn't working. Stupid Americans. You are your own worst enemies.



  40. 40

    Alex Shulgin. Man who has been synthesizing and taking drugs for over 3 decades and also work along side DEA. An example of a man who knows how to take drugs and also make positive contribution to society.

    Still, she shouldn't have said that. Finding out that all the drug education you were given as a child is propaganda is something you find out on your own eventually.



  41. 41

    jesus said "all things in moderation" right before he said "ow, that hurts"



  42. 42

    I hate that fucking bitch so much.

  43. Galen says – reply to this


    43

    Everything is dangerous, everything has warning label. Lilly is right in the sense that experienced druggies are less likely to OD than the younger novices. Just remember you can't OD on weed!



  44. 44

    Re: AgentGiggles. – I completely agree with you; that has also been my experience. I think that was the point Lily was trying to make. Some, not all, people take it to far.

  45. Arshe says – reply to this


    45

    What she is saying is true, take a college ethics course or visit europe the attitudes and laws there are alot different.

  46. Arshe says – reply to this


    46

    It is also proven that addicts (not people who do drugs) are also people with emotional and mental issues that are prone to addictions before they even ever touch drugs.



  47. 47

    Re: midi – You also make an excellent point. Everything can be an addiction now…there are treatment groups for internet addiction!!!!



  48. 48

    I used to hate Lily Allen…I'm liking her more and more



  49. 49

    Ya la vamos a ver en unos años hecha un estropajo. Espero que entonces se acuerden de sus comentarios.

    We'll see her in a few years being a rag. Hope then they'll remember what she said.



  50. 50

    i agree. "Some people are just bad at taking drugs" that is so true .. i think its retarded how the U.S. pays millions of dollars to keep people in prison for drugs/drug charges .. when its like you should be worried about rapists and murders and crazy peoples out there.



  51. 51

    i forgot to add .. i was commenting about weed.



  52. 52

    i completely agree with what she said. caffeine is a drug that most people develop slight addictions to, but we're not about to speak out against that. we use drugs in our everyday lives, and the rules that make some legal and other illegal are trivial.



  53. 53

    Re: londonting. – thank u! i salute you 2!!!haha!



  54. 54

    Re: AgentGiggles. – but that just means your not an addict. its the addicts who cant just have a jolly time they do take it over board and weed becomes their gateway drug to harder stuff. not everyone turns out to be an addict but alot do and it was just irresponsible for her to publicly state something like that to fans who look up to her who could already be genetically predisposed to addiction but their like ….oooh lilly allen says i'll be ok!! she's so stupid!



  55. 55

    Re: purpleblunt420 – #50: As a member of law enforcement, I can positively tell you that people who do drugs cause more serious problems in society. THAT s why they are locked up. Someone who does, say, coke for instance….needs it or they will suffer for withdrawls right? Well, They do so much coke, they can't function at work, get fired. Guy has no money, now what? He steals, burglarlizes homes, robs banks etc. etc. Maybe tries to rob someone at gunpoint and shoots them by accident. Innocent person, dead. All to get some money so he can buy his next fix. THAT is why drugs are illegal and why people get locked up. It's not because of what they do to a PERSON, it's because of what the ripple effects on SOCIETY are. If there was no ripple effect and someone just sat in their house, smoked crack and it didn't affect anyone else, no one would give a shit…but it affects so much more than just the individual. Trust me.



  56. 56

    #50: On that same note….what about that same person who is addicted to coke, doesn't have a job because he couldn't function. Guess what. His family no longer has means of support because daddy, the breadwinner, has no more income. Guess what happens then. The family goes on WELFARE! Guess who pays for it! Yes ma'am. You and I, hard workers who hold decent jobs to support our families. That is just another one of the many things drugs do to society.



  57. 57

    Re: KrissyKat – well umm .. i wasnt talkin about cocaine .. so maybe you should give a better example. i am pro marijuana- use. not for just shits and giggles but for medical use, clothing , paper. marijuana is a plant. god put it there for a reason. alcohol is legal . and people lose jobs over that , and they also die and kill and car accidents. and i know many people that will steal and rob FOR ALCOHOL. so why dont u just suck it



  58. 58

    Re: purpleblunt420 – uumm maybe u need to grow up and not speak so moranic and not have to verbally abuse someone because they proved u wrong when they are in a better position to talk and with more experience than your naive self.



  59. 59

    lilly allen is the biggest tool on earth! that is such an insult to all the people and families affected by drug use.

    katy perry is DEFINITELY NOT the skinnier version of lilly allen because she is not stupid enough to say such a thing.



  60. 60

    shes kind of right

  61. epic says – reply to this


    61

    i guess you are all worng (those who said she's right).
    when you're saying: i know someone who.. did you ever live with him? he/she may still have their job, but drugs are more than a social component.
    i think every person in my life was on drugs. last year they carried a dead out of the home of a friend, who was on heroine for about 20 years. she has had a job, she had a flat, but all went doenhill, slowly.
    my ex' father was a cocaine addict, and smoked pot the whole day. he wasn't able to live on his own, by the age of 40. so his son (then 21) had to care for him, and guess what, became a cocaine addict. so funny!
    the consequences of drug abuse may not be seen by someone who barely knows the person, but they are there, and i wonder if you've ever were in contact with someone who just took hard drugs while you were sober.
    and just because she said such immature stupid stuff, tons of people here agree and thinking "hey, i can do drugs, I (alone) can handle it". i'd like to slap her for that, what a stupid bitch.



  62. 62

    i agree with lily. but i watched an advert the other day that says that smugglers put cocaine inside dogs and then kill them when they get to england to take the drugs out and killing drugs is just not cool



  63. 63

    Re: enigmaticstar

    and UM katy perry is far more stupid than lily allen. she posed with a fcking flick-knife because "somebody told her to" literally days before she presented the emas in liverpool. knife crime affects far more innocent people in the UK than drugs. Although seeing as perez is paid to promote katy perry i suppose you guys didnt hear about it in the US - try google.



  64. 64

    Re: jessejames82 – whatever .. why dont you mind your own business? & omg i said suck it .. my point was about WEED not COCAINE .. and I HAVE A POINT .. so if you think its right that people who use ALCOHOL DAILY .. which is totally legal .. drunk people for an example can do the following .. robbery/burglary , murders , dieing from health related problems , but its legal still? i dont think cocaine use , heroin use , or meth use is right .. yeah them people should be locked up … but my point was about weed. But sorry i think that somebody who has an ounce of weed on them shouldnt have to go to prison for it sorry .. its retarted and dumb .



  65. 65

    Re: MIKE_FROM_MU

    She is far from a one hit wonder, she has great talent! Agreed she should keep her mouth shut sometimes, but at least she keeps it real.



  66. 66

    i agree with lily



  67. 67

    your a dick head, she didnt mention hard drugs like heroine. she was talking about the fact that yes some people use drugs with devostating consiqences but others recognize that there has to be a line between drugs and real life, ive smoked weed for 5 years, and u know what? i manage to live life.

    LEGALISE WEED!!!!!!!!!



  68. 68

    Re: political science major – exactly what i said above and people are like cryin over it!! i totally agree .. people who smoke bud just sit & chill , we dont cause no harm , we dont bother anybody.



  69. 69

    she is an absolute idiot for that comment.



  70. 70

    SHES TOTALLY FUCKING RIGHT IF U ACTUALLY READ IT AND KNOW WHATS SHES TALKING ABOUT - FUCK ALL THE REST



  71. 71

    Re: political science major – she was referring to coke u asrse



  72. 72

    Re: purpleblunt420 – SHE AINT TALKING ABOUT WEED. SHE SPECIFICALLY MENTIONS COKE. JEEZ CANT U FUCKING POTHEADS READ?



  73. 73

    and even weed, one day will affect u. i smoked bud every day for 15 years, and very slowly it made me paranoid, anxious, lazy and i started having panic attacks. but i thought i was fine. it was my poor family who bore the brunt of my vile moods. so even tho the effects are slow, its gonna catch up with u one day.



  74. 74

    I'd just like to point out that the "Shadow Home Secretary" is NOT a member of the UK Government. His title comes from the fact that he would hold the position of Home Secretary IF his party were in power. Which they are not!



  75. 75

    Her whole comment is true, you and the government just dont like to hear it but it doesnt make it any less true. Dangerous and stupid pfft the government are stupid there filled with lies!!



  76. 76

    She is more or less correct.



  77. 77

    wow what a bunch of fucking pussies. there are a lot of people and like she said she knows and a lot of people i know as well that experiment once a week or something like that. but like she said some people are bad at taking drugs, you let yourself get addicted and that's when shit gets fucked up. however everyone is over reacting and you all need to stop being naive little children.



  78. 78

    At least Lily gives you something to talk about Perez



  79. 79

    Lily please, stop saying stupid things that we don't care about !



  80. 80

    I love Lily…



  81. 81

    Re: peehall – no no nooo your statement was very naive. nobody "lets themselves become addicted" who WANTS to be and ADDICT…..NO ONE!!! its something thats in your genes its a disease. maybe the people who keep sayin she's right are from a small town with not much life experience….maybe you are trying to justify your own drug use maybe not. i think its great that nothing bad has happend to u people that smoke weed u are the lucky ones because you are not addicts. but when an addict starts out smoking weed cuz they are told its the good drug….it leads them to the hard stuff. why is that so hard to understand?



  82. 82

    she is right though, a lot of people get high every weekend and are fine, however some people die after their first line of coke.



  83. 83

    Great - another suck ass smile song, can't wait to hear the album. In the meantime, someone get this stupid bitches phone number and hand it out.



  84. 84

    Re: purpleblunt420 – #64 I wasn't attacking your post, just notice that I said "for instance"….I know that you were talking about pot and believe it or not, I agree with you on that subject…I am just trying to get the point across that there are social consequences (coke was the first thing that I thought of) that go on with drug use…and they are generally a larger, far more destructive and widespread problem than just that of the individual. no need to turn into spaz or be rude. And thank you #52 for understanding what I was getting at. :) much love.



  85. 85

    tellin it like it is… this girl makes sense.
    Aren't we all a little fascist though? Why can't she be entitled to her own damn opinion?



  86. 86

    Re: jessejames82 – well first of all if people were smarter they wouldnt continuously do these so called drugs… then mmm they wouldnt get addicted just because everyone in my family is an alcoholic doesnt mean i am. ive drank before but …look now i dont touch alcohol ever and was never an alcoholic. and you're basically saying marijuana is a gateway drug. and well if you were smart and did your research you would no that is `100% absolutely untrue. the only way it COULD be considered a gateway drug is because the gov't and the media make such a big deal out of it then people try it and realize its not that bad …which in turn makes them think maybe the rest of those drugs arent that bad. but if you're intelligent you'd actually do research on these things before doing them. which is why mmm i dont do other drugs… because i know how bad they are for you and how bad weed ISNT for you.



  87. 87

    it is true that some people can't handle drugs. i'm not saying coke is good, but if you're able to keep a job, have a good relationship with friends and family and be healthy while doing sh!t, you should do whatever the fxck you want.
