What is it on this site with the rush to judgement? Rush has admitted to no crime and has characterized the stories about him as "distorted". A doctor prescribed the pain pills as an alternative to surgery. He got addicted. He's admitted it and will take care of the problem. Why are we so eager to assume that he is guilty of being a street corner crack dealer?!

I said "probably".
In most (and probably all) states & municipalities, "drug abuse" (or it's equivalent language) is a crime & does indeed cover even those drugs that can be legally obtained through prescription.
