Let me ask you a question, in all seriousness. Do you not see a difference between those who use illegal drugs for "recreational" purposes (often getting hooked, then committing crimes to feed their habits) and those like Rush who inadvertently become addicted to legal narcotics dispensed by doctors for legitimate pain management?

And Rush possibly might have committed crimes as well. Here's a newsflash, if - IF! - Rush did what he is accused of doing, he committed a crime to get his drugs. I don't know if you know this, but doctors don't prescribe thousands upon thousands of the same painkiller to their patient. <

A criminal is one who personally steals his drugs from a source.

Those who buy from such criminal only have "addictive personalities" needing treatment at a spa.
