be that as it may, I still believe he and everyone else should not be prosecuted for their addictions. Even though he really deserves it.

I agree totally. In a way I hope he doesn't get in trouble because that makes me a hypocrite.

Isn't he already a hypocrite for being all "tough on drugs" but also a drug addict?

Oh god- he's a hypocrite in so many ways. Don't get me started.
I don't want to be a hypocrite though. Even though I hate him, I'm "turning the other cheek" so to speak and I hope he doesn't get in trouble.

Rush seems to take issue with illegal drug use for recreational purposes. He has no problem with legal recreational drug use (booze and cigars}. I think that's foolish right there, but no more than anybody else who supports drug prohibition, which is most of the people. His painkiller addiction is something else entirely. People who think this is bullshit need some serious pain in their lives. Serious chronic, unfixable pain. Debilitating pain. Can't sleep for months pain.
In your blind hatred of Limbaugh you seem to have overlooked the just what it was the prosecutor has done in snatching his medical records. Very questionable invasion of privacy. And none of us likes that, do we?
What he was charged with is, if I understand correctly, a scheme to get several doctors to prescribe the same medication in greater amounts than they normally would. Unfortunately for the prosecution, this did not go well and all they managed to do was force a man to make public his addiction to prescribed pain medication. The most laughable part of this is the $30,000 fee he has to pay to "cover the cost of the investigation." This jackass DA has probably spent over a million taxpayer dollars for the sole purpose of embarassing a

You don't think people have fucked up brain chemistry's where they self medicate? Not all pain is physical, and mental pain hurts just as much sometimes. (I could bring up the parallels between the body's response to physical pain and panic attacks,but I don't feel like writing an essay. There isn't even a strict boundry between mental and physical pain- which is why some people with chronic pain have good response to meds like antidepressants that have no direct pain killing properties.)
When I was abusing painkillers, I was in so much mental agony it was basically blow my brains out or take some pills. I seriously felt like I had no other choice. I was seeing an incompentant doctor and running out of options. So I forged a scrip. I wasn't even seeking any kind of high, just some kind of relief.
So please, spare me that chronic pain bullshit. I would have traded almost any physical pain for what I went through when I was locked up for a couple days before I could post bail. I felt like I was sufocating.
Ever hear of drugs in development called Substance P inhibitors? They are basically antidepressants aimed at the brain's opioid system. Some doctors finally have the courage to admit that the brain's endogenous endorphins and enkaphalins can be screwed just as other neurotransmitters important to mood. (For those that don't believe me, take some Naltrexone for a few days and get back to me.)
All I'm saying is that no one should be prosectuted for what they put into their bodies.

Seriously, fuck you. Take some Naltrexone for a week and see how you feel. I can send you some if you like. Let me induce chemical dysphoria in you please. Your pulse will rise, your body will release epinephrine and cortisol and other steroids almost exactly like you were in physical pain.
I'm not talking about normal everyday mental depression. I had some bad acid trips that were a resort vacation compared to that shit. (And no it wasn't just withdrawal which I had prior experience with.)

I can't even tell what kind of point your trying to make. Except the point that you are deeply immersed in a prescription drug stupor to such an extent that you think all pain is due to some kind of mental defect. I have a proposal for an experiment. Take a needle. Take your finger. Push the needle into your finger. Tell me if it hurts. If it doesn't, you have a defect. If it does you are normally responding to a pain inducing stimulus.
Watch your mouth Bub. This aint OTD.

Wheres the compassion? He needs rehab........??
What a paradox, I remember when I used to listen and believe what this guy had to say........
-------------------- “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
