Rush is lucky we have strict drug laws and enforcement. If not he wouldn't be seeking help

That's just not true. The stigma of having a drug abuse record keeps most abusers from seeking help. Rush tried to get help before he got into trouble. The majority of those who seek help do it on their own. Same as alcohol.

When we criminalize a personal problem, we turn a law abiding man into a criminal. Rush's drug problem is his own. It is not up to you or I to decide for him what personal problem he should be punished for.

What happens if we win the War On Drugs. Shall we take on religion next? Why don't we prosecute Christians? We already know that the clergy is rife with child molestors, yet we do nothing. We need to protect our children. We need a War On Religion!

Sound crazy? Of course it does, but that is exactly what we are doing with drug prohibition.

Keep in mind that Hitler ran on an anti crime platform. Who would have thought that all Jews would become criminals. The propaganda used against the Jews was identical to the propaganda used in the War On Drugs.
