Scott Storch is lending his efforts towards helping other people beat drug addiction.
The acclaimed producer opened The Heavenly Center in Studio City, California on Saturday (August 1) alongside Steve Lobel and national recovery advocate Nick Morgan.
“I spent 8 years addicted to drugs and was able to get sober and rebuild my life,” Storch wrote on Instagram next to a video of he, Lobel and Morgan at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. “Now it’s my turn to help save lives with my cannabis for healing rehab @theheavenlycenterofficial”
Storch’s road to recovery has been well documented. The producer for hits such as 50 Cent’s “Just A Lil Bit,” Beyoncé’s “Baby Boy,” and Fat Joe’s “Lean Back,” detailed in 2018 how he amassed his fortune through production and that his demons ultimately led to his downfall.
“I was the most dangerous kind of drug addict,” Storch told Hot 97 in 2018. “I was a drug addict who had millions and millions of dollars in the bank, ready to spend on drugs, and not have to go to work, and not have to worry about anything… The reason why that’s the most dangerous is because if you don’t run out of… Really, usually, people stay alive because they run out of money.”
New Documentary Explores Scott Storch's Rise, Fall & Comeback
Storch released a tell-all documentary that same year titled Still Storch. The doc chronicles the Philadelphia-reared producer’s rise from keyboardist with The Roots to superproducer and how he “dropped the ball” in regards to his spending and drug habits.
“People have their bottoms, I shot through the bottom and went 100,000 leagues under the sea,” Storch says in the doc. “I don’t know many who could survive emotionally, mentally what I went through. I had a lot of people that I made wealthy, a lot of people I made a lot of hit records for. When people were pointing the finger saying, ‘Hey, he’s really fucked up right now.’ I think those people should have been calling me trying to help. They just turned their backs on me.”
Every time I see him he is baked with a joint in his mouth. Not sure thats the rehab for everyone but good for Scott. Whatever works for you.
From my understanding people who where really hardcore drugs addicts typically smoke a lot of weed when they get “clean”. It’s obviously better than what they were doing and won’t destroy your life, but it’s still covering the trauma. My example is Joey Diaz.
It’s called “replacing one addiction with another”, dummy.
No we aren’t…. opiates 15 years and I did it with that “steel” in my arm… the cannabis isn’t the same as being on opiates….it’s either cannabis or the dr. Prescribed antischycotics when you get it…. quality of life is improved with cannabis….. not to mention bc if the opiate addiction I can’t take pain medicine anymore when my body truly needs it but I can use cannibis for pain without relapsing….. besides like Scott isn’t going to have a buzz again, but at least he isn’t using his drug of choice
Stop taking his inventory
Nasty joo ruined his face with plastic surgery trying to look like a white man
This is some ironic shit , the water(long live malik b) is one of the songs that made Me want to be a substance abuse counselor, well fuck it resume on the way
I thought this guy died for like the longest time.
This is some Kanye sh!t ‘you owe me blahblahblah, bro just because you made money with them don’t make them friends of yours. And who cares about a down and out drug addict fxck em all! Nobody asked you to party
Its funny when people are successful and try to help other people no one wants to say anything positive? Thats because said people have miserable lives and cant comprehend why there life sucks and is going no where. I hope the best for Scott with his new endeavor even if he only saves one life its worth it.
I think this dude is a a douche, but big-ups on this …
