John, if you got hooked on drugs by originally using them for recreation, then I have less sympathy. But I do still have some.
This is a different case though. He had an operation, which was unsuccessful. He was prescribed this medication. He was wrong to take more than he should have, to become addicted. But extreme pain will make most do whatever it takes to get relief.
Name a person that Rush jumped all over, that had the misfortune of a painful medical condition, and then addiction. I bet you cant name one. Thats just a guess though, maybe you can, lets see. I dont think Rush would pick on someone in that situation.
