I hope he gets help if this story is true.

If true, it goes to show that drug dependent persons aren't skidrow types most of the time. Look how productive Limbaugh is and the reasoning abilities he demonstrates while supposedly impaired. Had it not been for a snitch this would never had become public.

Some old studies showed that opiates when taken for pain, did not significantly impair cognition when dosed to treat the pain. But the supposed dose...jeez.

I must admit this may be one`explanation for the ESPN boo boo.

I truly hope this is all bunk.

Good point. If he was taking as much vicodin as alleged, I'm surprised he could even function.

Come on...no human could even get out of bed taking 97 of these type of pills a day.

And skidrow druggies are usually crack and heroin addicts.

I know something about what it's like to become dependent on prescription drugs. I had spinal fusion surgery a while back and for two years prior and one year after the surgery I was taking a lot of pain medication. I actually functioned better when I was taking it because without it I was in so much pain that I could not function.

I never got any medication on the black market. Mine was prescribed - vicodin, soma, oxycontin and another I can't remember right now but the doctors were prescribing it in bunches.

Getting off those things was not a very pleasant experience. I had to be hospitalized for five days. My heart and my prayers go out to Rush.
