He's not long-haired, maggot infested, nor is he dope smoking. he's addicted to PRESCRIPTION pain killers. He's not some homeless, wino living on the street or on the public hand-out.

Addiction is addiction. Honest Drug Warriors know this. He may not be a wino living on the street, but he was allegedly sending out housekeepers to buy his drugs OFF THE STREET. He's contributing to the Drug Culture just as much as anyone else buying drugs off a street corner.

Okay, just to state my position: I think that people who don't find any distinction between pain meds and recreational use are both wrong, whether they're on the pro-WOD or anti-Rush side of the argument.

I never really got any impression from Rush that he was all hot on the war on drugs either. Never seemed to me to be even an unimportant theme with him. Far as I can tell, he would've only had a problem with someone on drugs if they thought the government owed it to them to support their habit.

And note, I'm not a regular Rush listener. I could easily have missed something. I check out his website pretty regularly tho, and never read anything about him promoting the WOD.

Me? I think the number of people in jail for marijuana use is insane. I favor it's full legalization. As for other drugs, I favor decriminalizing the use but not the dealing of it.
