Dr. Drew has given those who care about Lindsay Lohan some pretty insane advice, for someone dealing with substance abuse. His advice? Pack her car with illegal substances and then call the police.

Now I love Dr. Drew as much as the next person. But, to give an addict a car full of drugs just seems irresponsible — not to mention, illegal.

He said, “If she were my daughter, I would pack her car full with illegal substances, send her on her way, call the police, and make sure she was arrested. I would make sure she was not allowed to get out of jail. I would then go to the judge and make sure she was ordered to a minimum of a three year sobriety program.”

As a doctor, Drew should’ve known better than to issue such advice. What he’s suggesting is to frame Lindsay so that she gets tossed into jail. Thus, making it possible for her to bargain her sentence down from jail time, to much needed rehab. Because that happens in the real world, right?

Here are some of the reactions to his Facebook suggestion:

Dr. Drew, I’ve had several friends die of addiction. I’ve also watched friends struggle to get treatment and have their efforts thwarted by the criminal justice system. These have been some of the most difficult experiences of my life, and it pains me to hear that someone of your influence would say something so destru…ctive and misguided. I know how ugly addiction is, and that is why your words break my heart. Just because my medical challenges do not involve illegal substances, I go to the doctor when I’m sick. And because some of the medical challenges of my friends do involve illegal substances, they don’t get to go to the doctor – they end up incarcerated. And let me tell you – I’ve seen with my own eyes that PTSD just makes a bad situation worse.

Dr Drew, you have to do better. Doctors are supposed to do no harm. You should be advocating for drug law reform and harm reduction, not horrific police tactics and coercive treatment.
–Tom Wytiaz

Dr. Drew, you should do a little research about how our criminal justice system treats addicts before you suggest to their families to have them arrested. Only 11% of prisoners with addiction problems get treatment in prison. Besides, prison can be more damaging to a person than an addiction….Prison is not the right solution for addiction.
–Julia Peterson

Did you really endorse planing evidence on drug users to get them arrested? You’re a f*cking quack.
–Steven Silverman

What do you think? Is the judicial system the right answer here? Or should Dr. Drew try again?
