Once again let me repeat that RUSH is a Hyporite when it comes to the "Drug abuse issue."

HE said on his show that TREATMENT is not the answer to
drug Addiction, but Jail time was.

Where was his compassion for addicts ???

There is a huge difference between becoming an addict from a prescription drug and becoming an addict from an illegal substance which is used purely for 'recreational' or psychodelic use.

I don't remember Rush ever disagreeing with the medicinal use of drugs, even marijuana where truthfully postured. But he did have the courage to call the kettle black when he observed 'druggies', i.e. people who sought drug induced states rather than natural states, who falsely claimed to use marijuana as a medicinal drug when they instead simply wanted to get 'high'.
