Anything to further an agenda...

While I could care less if someone smokes pot or even does harder drugs like heroin, I want people strung out on speed and coke locked away forever.

You can't tell me that someone strung out on speed that's been up for four days straight is as safe as your average stoner.

I take Oxycontin for an extremely bad progressive case of arthritis and as I've seen other posters say, it can get away from you. Used intelligently under a pain Doctor's care, it is a safe and effective treatment for pain that is so bad you can't imagine. I'm afraid that if Rush kicks the addiction, he's still got the back pain to deal with and that is going to make things difficult right there.

I've used acupuncture in the past and while it mildly works, it is in no way a substitute for narcotic pain relievers. If his stomach can handle it, mine can't, Bextra and Celebrex are wonder drugs so maybe that's the path he'll have to choose.

While I consider the WOD a failure, I never want to see meth or crack available at the local Quickie Mart.

If they do something that harms another individual, lock em up, otherwise what harm are they causing society? We can't throw someone in jail because they might hurt someone.

Your right, Rush may need drugs for pain, maybe he needs them to relax. I really don't care what reason he or anyone else has for using drugs, it's their business, not mine.
