Sweetin, Agassi Cause Controvery over Crystal Meth Use

You may know her from playing Stephanie Tanner on the 1980s sitcom "Full House." But Jodie Sweetin has done a lot of living in the past 15 years, including an addiction to crystal meth. She writes about it in her new autobiography, "Unsweetined."

She's the second celebrity in a week to write about her experiences with crystal meth. Tennis star Andre Agassi drew controversy when he wrote about how he used to use the drug.

"It's a lot more widespread than people realize," Sweetin told E! Online. "It's not just people with no money who are sitting in a trailer somewhere with no teeth doing cyrstal meth. There are a lot of people -- people who have money, people who have families."

Sweetin, who has a year and a half old daughter, is clean now and said using crystal meth or any other drug is unthinkable.

"This time is the best quality of the sobriety I've had," she told E! "Comparitively, I couldn't ask for a better life."
