I thought the excuse for Rush was because pills are legal?
What happened to Rush (becoming addicted to a prescription drug) has happened to many, many other people.
Here is a portion of a letter which was printed in a local newspaper a few weeks ago:
"At the age of 19 my son, who shunned drug use, injured his back and was given Oxycontin by a doctor; he became seriously addicted. He lost his job, became a thief to support his habit, was eventually homeless and ended up in the emergency room after an overdose.
Many people do not know that opiate addicts become heroin addicts when they cannot get their pills.
I contacted his doctor and told him that my son was taking a potentially lethal combination of pills. The doctor said writing my son prescriptions was perfectly legal and that the addiction was not his problem..."
