Posted: 18 Jul 2013 06:33 AM PDT

Drug abuse is engulfing our young generation faster than anything, but who cares! It's the part of this materialistic world they say. However, in case of popular stars and celebrities, it's a matter of huge media outbreaks and bad influence on the fans. History has seen great stars falling into the pit of addiction when they were at the peak of their careers. Some of them could get out, and others overdosed themselves to death. There are people like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Bill Clinton, and some influential personalities from the field of sciences, such as Sigmund Freud, who confessed their experiment with drugs like LSD, opium and marijuana, but did not allow those to destroy their lives. However, not all those who did the same could get out of them. Here is the list of top 10 famous drug addicts.

 

10. Lindsay Lohan:

Lohan, a popular American actress and recording artist, began as a child star at the age of five when she made appearances in many commercials. She won several MTV Movie Awards including the 'Teen Choice Awards' during her career. As she grew to be an adult, with fame came her experiments with drugs and psychedelic substances. In 2007, she was arrested with heroin, and was even sent to rehabilitation center for treatment. Her addiction and drunkard dances at public places made her a universal example of drug addicts. Presently, she is trying to reform her life, but god knows what the future holds for her.
