Whitney Houston Cleared on Drug Charges
Posted May 21, 2008 
Misdemeanour drug possession charges against Whitney Houston have been dropped by a Hawaiian judge, following a substance abuse assessment of the star. The legendary singer was suspected of possessing marijuana while travelling through a Hawaiian airport in 2000 with ex-husband Bobby Brown. Houston allegedly disposed of less than half an ounce of weed and three partially smoke joints, before boarding a United Airlines flight from Keahole-Kona airport to San Francisco, California.
The assessment, submitted in February 2008 by a New Jersey substance abuse counselor, stated Houston does not require treatment for substance abuse. She is now cleared of all charges.
Rumours of drug abuse have surrounded the star since her marriage to R&B star Bobby Brown, and she spent time in rehab programs in 2004 and 2005. Houston's record label bosses maintain she has been clean of all illegal substances since her most recent stint three years ago.
After an embarassing Caribbean performance in April, the 44-year old singer came back with rave reviews at a London show earlier this month. Houston sang at a Caudwell Children's charity event, which raised $3 million dollars.
