[Trust but Verify]

That is their story isn't it.

That is whose story? I seriously don't kow what you're talking about. I posted that it is very possible, in fact it happens all the time, that people become addicted to prescription drugs even while taking only the prescribed dose. I said nothing about Rush golfing.

People taking only the prescribed dose of some of these drugs become addicted.

They.

Can you say Rush did not abuse drugs? He can't.
Can you say Rush never took any non prescription pills? He hasn't.

I truly wish he had kept with the I will cooperate with the investigation tack. I do believe in taking the punishment you are due for your transgressions. That is why if I were to become addicted to prescription drugs it would not be my doctors fault. It is up to me to be in charge of my self. That includes knowledge of my own addictions.

Rush attempted twice to break his addiction. That is knowledge of abuse. Any actions following that are obviously his responsibility.

As to golfing, I do think it is significant that with all the complaints about abusive prosecution that over a lengthy time of abuse he did not appear to curtail activity which puts him at risk of aggravating his pain.
