Rush remained silent on drug criticism, directing his comments on other topics. While I do not condone over-medicating, over-drinking, or over-eating, this appears to be what Rush did....as have many others. "Over-doing" is an insidious problem....I doubt Rush premeditated overdoing his pain meds, just a alcoholics didn't premeditate to have a drinking problem. The end result is the same: excess is unhealthy and "it" leads to controlling you/your behavior.

Rush became "silent" once he became addicted himself. Before 95 or so he was promoting prosecution of affluent white folks like himself who beat the system. That says lots about his character, or lack thereof.

Only AFTER he got addicted ( he admitted he didn't want to call attention to the subject) Before that he did take on the drug users and called them POT HEADS MAGGOT INFESTED etc etc and said put them in Jail
