Indeed, I agree....but with the exception that if one goes beyond pain relief into "staying high land" then one is going to have to doctor shop or find a Doctor Nick and stay with him which is pretty hard these days with La Dea breathing down doctors necks. I do not know what Rush might actually have done...he might have bummed or bought some painkillers off the maid rather than go beg off the doctor or he might have gone whole hog or he might be completely and unequivocally innocent (but why not say so?)
I have 2 herniated discs in my lower back. My Neurosurgeon buddy will not refill my weakass Lortab 5mgs (#30) but once without a revisit and if I kept that up he would insist on the knife. It's funny...now at 45, I actually only use dope as it is prescribed and very prudently. Between my back and my wife's last two childbirths I bet we have around 60 Demerols and 30-40 Lortabs and around 40 Darvocets and if they get used more than once or twice a year, I'd be suprised. Tonight, I made the mistake of picking up our very hot pizza stone while making dinner and crispied my finger tips...I coated them in Benzocaine after mucho agua frio and then just sweated it out. My wife suggested I take one of her leftover Mepergans but I didn't want to fall asleep on the sofa trying to watch a movie....damned funny how life turns. At 18, my buddies and I would have gone thru my medicine chest like foxes thru a henhouse. and having wee ones that totally depend on you makes me so reluctant to be altered at all. Never much liked to drink a lot nor did I care much for coca or gack....Thank God.
If I can't sleep, I will take a Benadryl...knocks my ass out..lol
Dope Smuggling ain't what it used to be from what I gather btw.
For one, if Rush happens to have a sports doctor, such as a football team doctor as a buddy, scripts shouldn't be a problem. Those docs are scrutinized by the DEA the same as regular docs are.
Secondly, as big an enemy of the left as Rush is, I'm sure they watch him like a hawk waiting for any morsel of scandal to ruin him with. If he did have a problem, I'm sure the story would've broke way before now. I believe if Rush was actually heavily involved with illegal pills, his enemies would rather have him busted ala Mayor Berry, which is more substantial and devastating than an enquirer article.
Do know that I'm no Rush fan nor am I totally convinced either way. But I'm leaning toward a not very well orchestrated smear job in this case.
" Dope Smuggling ain't what it used to be from what I gather btw"
I agree, but pills are cheap and available in bulk over the counter in Mexico. It wouldn't be that difficult for an individual with the means to set up a way to smuggle enough pills back to the USA for personal use.
