Lindsay Lohan. Once upon a time, America’s sweetheart. A Disney child star who became notorious when she started to get mixed up with the law at the juvenile age of 18. She first meddled with drugs when she was 18 by overdosing on cocaine. Soon after, she was arrested and the court sentenced her to undergo rehabilitation but it did not change her one bit. Once she was out, she continued to abuse cocaine and ecstasy to be “high” when clubbing. In 2007, she was photographed injecting heroin into her system. (refer to figure A) She also constantly overdosed on amphetine, a drug used to assist people with ADHD. Unfortunately, her days of misdemeanour were long from over. She was constantly having run in s with the law. Over the years, she has gone to rehab over 6 times and been arrested twice for possession of drugs. In 2011, on the red carpet, Lindsay was photographed with bad teeth and professional dentists examined them they claimed that her rotten teeth were a result of drug overdose, excessive smoking and lack of hygiene. (refer to figure b) Now, 7 years later Lindsay has realised her mistakes and is on the road to recovery. When asked what was the trigger for her to start taking drugs at such a young age she said it was due to her parents spilt and her inability to handle stress. However, the reputation of America’s sweetheart has long been tarnished and she has a lot of work to do before being able to change her reputation.
