Maybe someone who is a dittohead subscriber can do a search through the transcripts on his web site. I believe they have transcripts there and hopefully have not purged them to make him look less hypocritical. However we do have this quote from Oct 10, 1995:

There's nothing good about drug use. We know it. It destroys individuals. It destroys families. Drug use destroys societies. Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. And the laws are good because we know what happens to people in societies and neighborhoods which become consumed by them. And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up

Now, quite frankly you have to admit that you have never heard Limbaugh champion those who want to legalize drugs. I have heard him say several times that people who want to legalize pot are "selfish". Can't quote the time or the day because I have better things to do than document every stupid thing RL says. If you disagree, so be it. But you might want to listen to a few of those old programs before you go on defending the guy.

Nanodik: "..I have heard him say several times that people who want to legalize pot are "selfish". ..."
Oh? Changing your story now, are you? What about the rest of what you said he said?:
..RL's comment was.. "My drug is good because it's legal and yours is bad because it's illegal. Those who want to make my drug illegal are idiots and busybodies..."
Nanodik: ".. you might want to listen to a few of those old programs before you go on defending the guy."
So when reality gets filtered through your (drug impaired?)mental processes, VOILA! - what I'm doing is "defending the guy", instead of what alert, cogent thinkers know I'm doing, which is: "looking to determine what's true and what's false."
The evidence of your behavior so far shows that you seem to have a propensity for misrepresenting the facts and slanting the truth to suit your purposes/agenda. You even did it to me.
And yet you have the gall to accuse Rush of being a dishonest hypocrite?
Thanks to the efforts of Denver Ditdat, we have a transcript summary of one of Rush's radio programs for Monday, December 13, 1993, and can read the exchange between him and his caller regarding the 'selfish' comment in context.

Please ping me when you find the date and quote wherein you tell us that Rush said this: "My drug is good because it's legal and yours is bad because it's illegal. Those who want to make my drug illegal are idiots and busybodies..." . Thanks.
