No, he wasn't. People who legitimately need pain medication do not get "high". They only get relief.
I am speaking from experience. I take Oxycontin 3 times a day. Thanks to this wonderful drug I am now able to lead a normal life again. I function in society just like anyone else. The only way you would know I am taking the medication is if you happened to be around me when it wears off. If I was kept from my next dose, you would see my level of activity decrease from what most people do, to lying in bed, and crying in pain, and having to urinate in a portable device beside my bed because I'm not able to walk across the hall to the bathroom.
From all I've read, Rush was almost in the same pain as I am.
