So you're okay with coke addicts snorting to their heart's content, as long as you're not harmed by it?

Not coke. But prescrition meds are okay because they 1. are strictly controlled by the FDA, and 2. are one of the few industries left in this country.

Okay. You're right; this is BS. I no longer know what I think. I'm an addictive personallity myself and I needed to believe Rush was clean.

But Rush was allegedly buying them off the street, with no doctor oversight. Taking massive quantities of any drug that is bought off the street, even if its content is controlled by the FDA, is still drug abuse.

But I'm with you on point #2 - after the drug bill, drug companies will need to get any profits they can... ;)

Take heart -- it doesn't mean he's not a good guy. :)
