Just curious, does anyone REALLY think he didn't do it? I think it's possible. Either way I wouldn't be shocked --- I think the democrats are low enough to try to make up something completely false. But I also know it's not at all unusual for doctors to prescribe painkillers that are quite addicting and people inadvertantly become addicted without ever intending to do so.

But it does appear according to the stories that he has rehabbed twice. That would raise a red flag from Doctor's issuing him those types of medications. Unless, of course he lied on his physicians forms.

This type of drug is SOOOOOO easy to abuse. An individual on opiates can function at a very high level compared to other types of drugs. There are untold millions of Americans not missing work and doing quite well for a long time while abusing opiate drugs. They don't show up on anyone's radar until something like this comes up. Sometimes it shows up when they run out.
The opiate portion of the drug is very easily metabolized by the body and doesn't do huge amounts of physical damage. Acetametaphine in some of those drugs can be very bad in quantities. Depending on the individual's liver it can quickly cause serious damage or even death.
