I don't think the abuse of drugs is a crime. It's certainly a sad thing, and we're all glad he's getting treatment, but not a crime. But the real question is what other crimes were committed?

The direct consequence of abusing drugs is the breaking of laws. Laws have been enacted to stop the illegal acquisition of certain drugs that are not used properly. Rush has admitted to using gthe drugs improperly, therefore its logical to assume he had to have acquired them improperly.

Which is why we need to distinguish between the addiction and the crime.
