Drugs, money and guilt

Today I read that Rush Limbaugh had reached a deal in his drug case. This shows that money can buy freedom from prosecution. If John Q. Citizen had been caught doctor shopping to get pain pills, he would have done jail time. Please understand, using drugs not prescribed for you is the same sort of crime as is smoking dope or doing mushrooms. It is a violation of the controlled substances act. If your doctor prescribes smoking dope to counteract the effects of chemotherapy and you get caught with the stuff or smoking it, you are going to jail. It is not about whether drugs are good or bad, it is about who owns you and who says what you will consume. I personally think that you should be able to do what you wish and good luck to you. Just don't steal to feed your habit or come to me for help after you screw your life up.
