Is Rush charged with a crime? Do you have proof Rush was a drug dealer or just a user. If Rush is a user, this might be a real downer for those who want to hang him high.

If Rush is charged with drug use, Florida is very lenient towards non-violent 1st time drug offenders. He will go to drug court. He will go through drug rehab and be monitored by the court for a period of time. The drug court will graduate him and drop the charges. Florida feels its better to rehabilitate than incarcerate. The state wants to go after the drug dealers and give them prison terms.

IF he is charged with a crime.

If the maid is telling the truth, Rush could be charged on possession with intent to distrute based merely on the huge quantity he purchased. She also reportedly is claiming that Rush paid her hush money, which would be felony obstruction of justice.

Perhaps, but the federal drug laws that Rush has repeatedly supported could subject him to a long prison term even if he were convicted of mere possession.
