What amazes me in all the brouhaha about Rush is that so few seem to consider that the route a person takes to drug addiction. I think there is a major difference between taking drugs for pain relief and becoming dependent vs taking drugs for recreational purposes and becoming dependent.

If all in this nation that are on Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Effexor and Celexa were made to stop taking thier meds the nation would stop while we awaited thier detoxification!

And that is the line of thinking that gets a lot of addicts back into trouble. Ask anyone who's been through AA or any of the other roads taken to overcome addiction.
