Cameron Douglas, a DJ and actor with a history of drug abuse was caught in a federal drug investigation last July. After spending six months in a federal prison, Douglas pled guilty yesterday as part of a plea agreement –no details of which were not disclosed.

His dad Micahel Douglas also acknowledged his own substance abuse.

Substance abuse is very scary.
