Eric Roberts

1000 Days of Cannabis Self Prohibition.

- Keiko Beatie

Most people know Eric Roberts as an actor of many big and small screen presentations. But how much did we know about his cannabis connection? One of the most well-trained and schooled actors in Hollywood sits down with Edibles Magazine and shares how he initiated a self-imposed 1000 day rehab from cannabis and what he learned from the experience, plus, his life, love, and volcano.

Eric Roberts is an East Coast boy, with high cheek bones and boyish good looks, and has been acting since he can remember, and loving the life he chose. Eric Anthony Roberts was born April 18, 1956 in Biloxi, Mississippi, to Betty Lou Bredemus, 1934-2015, and Walter Grady Roberts, 1933-1977. Both were at one time one-time actors and playwrights, who met while touring with a production of George Washington Slept Here, entertaining for the troops during the wartime.

In 1963, Eric’s parents co-founded the Atlanta Actors and Writers Workshop in Atlanta, Georgia, off Juniper Street in Midtown. They ran a children's acting school in Decatur, Georgia while they were expecting his younger sister Julia. Roberts has two younger sisters, Lisa and Julia, and his daughter Emma Roberts is well a known actress who has played opposite notable names such as Jennifer Aniston and Johnny Depp, making her major-film debut at age 10 in the 2001 drama Blow.
