I keep hearing people refer to him as a pill popper. Yes he was injured and was perscribed painkillers. He became addicted to those painkillers.
A few days ago, I would have agreed with the crowd who called a hypocrite because of this.
A few days ago I was involved in a automobile accident. Some chick was bs'ing on her cell phone and side swiped me on the driver side at 45 mph. I
ended up going the hospital for a once over. Ended up with a few bruised ribs and a neck and back injury. They wanted to keep me a few days, but I
have stayed in a hospital before and chose to go home.
For the pain the doctors gave me a shot of some kind of muscle relaxer and a shot of valium. The perscriptions I was given included Tylenol 3 with
codeine.
Long story short. After the valium shot and three doses of my perscription I had to cut myself off. It got to where I was looking forward to medicine
time. It is a really weird feeling to know you aren't in alot of pain, but you want to take the pain killers anyways. Knowing you don't need it.
My point is I now see the differance between Rush and the crack heads, pot smokers and heroin addicts. Rush was given a perscription and picked up his
old habit legally. The rest made a choice to try something they know to be illegal. They are the real criminals.
