No, but a kid could be buying it to get looped, no?
I posted in the thread about the kid who saved another by sharing an asthma inhaler and is now getting crucified for it: I'm on the kid's side and agree that there are differences in situations that the zero-tolerance laws ignore. All drugs are NOT bad - it depends on the circumstances and situations to properly assess and judge how the laws should be administered. Protecting health and saving lives are MOST DEFINITELY NOT zero-tolerance issues.
I couldn't care even if his stepdaughter was sharing a bed with Arafat or clinton on alternate even-dated Wednesdays - that's HER business. All I'm saying is that he would've shown more character to the GENERAL public by admitting it right from the start, rather than secretly dropping out of sight, off the air, twice, for extended periods of time, explaining it as 'vacation', to do rehab - especially after his on-air goings-on about drug abuse and tolerance of crimes and offenses and all else RATHER than the way it happened (getting caught/exposed and THEN making explanations). Is it a case of "don't do as I do - do as I say"?

The condition of rehabilitation centers is that they do not disclose who is seeking treatment. There was even a case where a teenage girl had been abducted and was made a sexual slave. There was a search for her and her captor forced her to write a note to her parents saying that she was seeking treatment for drug addiction.
Her parents did not believe it and even the police could not get a confirmation or denial from area rehab centers.
Rush does not owe you a release of his medical records.
Where is the outrage that President Clinton kept his medical record sealed from the public? Here is a man who was elected to serve the country (not just a hired radio host); a man who controlled the military and signed legislation into law. Some believe that his medical reports showed evidence of past drug use (including a near fatal experience with cocaine) and that he may have been using cocaine while in the White House.
Degree of scale?
