I can’t believe this. Who goes to rehab for a raging pot addiction?

Eric Roberts does. But I’m wondering if his wife is the reason behind him joining Jeremy London, Janice Dickinson and Leif Garrett on next seasons VH1′s Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew.

Eliza Roberts recently told E! that her husband became addicted to marijuana after using it to treat his anxiety…and got hooked.

“Eric quit drugs and alcohol in 1995,” the actor’s wife (an actress and casting director), tells E! News. “He has no interest in anything, other than marijuana.”

Eliza explains that her husband had previously tried prescription medications to treat anxiety, but they simply didn’t agree with him, and so he turned to cannabis for a cure.

“He uses marijuana as a medication. He has a prescription,” Eliza explains. “However, a dependency is a dependency and he doesn’t want to be dependent on it anymore.”

Sounds like his wife doesn’t like her husband sitting around all day watching the History Channel and playing XBox and she is shipping his lazy ass off to rehab. I’m not sure what sweet Eliza is worried about..according to IMDB Eric has about ten project in post-production.’

I’m actually glad that Eric will be on Rehab this season. He’ll bring a tiny bit of dignity to the D-lister trainwrecks in treatment.
