Someone who had never taken them before would die if they took 30 pills.

Addicts build up tolerance to opiates over time, taking more and more to get the same effect.

Thus an addict will be doing a LOT of pills, and a number of pills that would kill a person who had never taken them before.

And all addicts to all illegal drugs aren't INSTANTLY non-functional wastoids (I sense this is a result of government WOD propaganda that would have you believe one joint will ruin your entire life, etc.)

Especially with opiates, addicts can seem pretty normal for years.

Yes but the Enquirer is saying Rush took 30 oxycontins a day - oxycontin is VERY powerful and there is no way Rush could work taking that many pills that are that powerful.
