Actor Cameron Douglas, the son of Michael Douglas, was arrested this morning in New York City for possession of methamphetamines with the intent to distribute.
Dude looks kinda like his dad ...
This is not the drug arrest for Cameron Douglas.
In 2007, he was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance after authorities found a syringe with liquid cocaine in a car he was in.
The Cameron Douglas mug shot above, in fact, is from his 2007 arrest.
According to TMZ, the 30-year-old actor was taken into custody by federal authorities earlier today. He remains in police custody as of this posting.

He's in pretty big trouble now. Intent to distribute by the Feds is gonna mean jail time on a second go rounder. The first one wasn't light fare either being a syringe and liquid substance to inject obviously, and not snort.
A 1/2 lb. of Meth?? This guy has access to all the privilege, and can't just do a Downey, and muff himself. Here's a guy without a career, and selling drugs made sense for money. This is a Kirk deal getting passed down once again. I wonder how deep in the family tree that disfunction goes. I guess Michael will have to forgo some time in Spain over this. He must be wrecked right now, I would be.
Sorry to hear about it. I like Michael in movies a lot.

I used to care for Cameron when he was a kid. (when he was 5, again when he was 10 and then again when he was 15) I spent alot of time with him and this I know for sure...he was a great kid! Unfortunately, as a child of a famous person, you sometimes get left behind emotionally and i believe this is what happened to him. Not saying his parents weren't there for him, just not enough - no way. And over time, actually around 15, you could see a pattern developing - one of rebellion. The thing about Cameron is that he is REALLY tough-minded and always has been. Probably gets that from his 'pappy' Kirk who he loved alot. So i believe that as he started sensing that he was 'on his own' in this life, no matter how much money he was connected to, he started 'fighting back' at the system that was not loving him the way all kids should be loved. And he got tougher and tougher over the years, concealing his pain and again fighting back to in a way punish whoever he felt 'left him' as a child. I feel really sorry for him at this point in his life and hope that people can understand that he really was and is a victim of a LONELY childhood. One without the REAL kind of love that nourishes a child and helps them grow with true self esteem and self respect. Not only that, instead of having his parents there to love him, they always had OTHER people to care for him (me included). He really never knew WHO was going to be his stand in father next. Very sad but the way it is for many among the rich and famous. Someone should do a story on this subject, "The Forgotten Children of the Rich and Famous". I'm telling you first hand...he's still a GOOD KID...I know it. I hope all this is taken into consideration - SERIOUSLY - when the time comes for him to go before the court. You may judge him and think he has it made because his father is wealthy and famous, NO WAY. How about talking about how much PAIN he is in and how much deep inward pain he has endured over the years from never being loved the right way or enough. That would damage anyone in this life. I hope he gets HELP - not drug rehab - but real help for the emptiness that has left him feeling unloved and unwanted. No kid should ever have to grow up this way. It wasn't his fault he was born into this kind of life. It's hard to heal when NO ONE sees or acknowledges what's really wrong and been wrong for a long time. I hope others can understand.

Well 'Paul'...I do feel sorry for Cameron or anyone else who chooses a life of drugs. However, I believe a major problem in today's society is one's failure to take responsibility for their actions. I don't know of any perfect parents (or children) and so, all of us could find an excuse for negative behaviour and I would speculate to say there are many, many people who've had a worse life to endure than Cameron, but who aren't going around selling drugs in retaliation. The man obviously has problems, but as an adult who has been in trouble with the law before, I would think it's about time for him to grow up and be responsible for his actions, whether he chooses to conduct himself within the law or not. Would you still be blaming his neglectful childhood for his drug dealing ways if he were 60 years old? If not, then at what point would you suggest he grow up. I'm sure the courts will allow him the compassion they see fit....perhaps in the same manner Cameron might show compassion for the people he was selling drugs to.

Paul, if only my parents gave a damn like his parents do for him. I also experimented when I was younger, but hey, this was no happy life. I realize now that the only reason I used to do some of the things I did, was to numb myself of the pain and I found myself looking for love in all the wrong places. I have flash backs of those memories and the insanity of it all and all the low lifes I hung out with. (enough to make you sick). But I did eventually decide to take the other route. I dropped all my friends and I even gave up my Pink Floyd tickets when I was 16, because I knew it would be another night of insanity. I finally picked up and moved away from the neighborhood. But wherever you go, there always will be somebody, somewhere you can find if you really wanted to. But then you grow up and start helping in cleaning up the neighborhood. You want to clean up the streets of garbage.
Drugs are a life sentence (if you chose it to be) it is misery in its highest degree. Eventually, you have to look in the mirror and look at that person and question what you are doing? With all of his father's contacts Cameron, could have wonderful opportunities and a wonderful life. Not like the rest of us who are just trying to pay the rent, food etc. and constantly having to look for jobs. People like us only dream daily of things we would love to do, if only, we could win the lottery. But it never happens and we have to continue daily knocking on doors.
People all look for the same things in life whether you are rich or poor. Love is the most important thing along with health. The two go together. This is a life sentence to the poor families, who suffer also. Didn't Micheal Douglas, already lose a brother to an over dose? How much can a family take? Poor Kirk Douglas, you think he could get some peace of mind towards the end of his life. I hope Cameron, can read this because it is time for him to start living life. He has not lived real life for years. It has just been wasting away. There is so much good things he could be achieving. I hope the judge gets him to do some charity work, expecially with animals. Animals have such magical and healing affects on humans. Good Luck Cameron. Please don't waste you life away and continually hurt your family. Not everyone has a family, reach out and appreciate everyone around you, because it will be gone very soon. God Bless!! Heidi Montreal, Canada

I don't want to blame the father, he was out there making millions. What was the mother doing while this kid was growing up. I believe she was not working - she was not out somewhere trying to earn money to help her husband to make more millions. They had 1 child and yet she cannot personally take care of Cameron? What did she do? What was her role while the boy was growing???
