Oxycontin an elite drug? Isn't one of its nicknames "hillbilly heroin"? Of course, we don't know that he crushed it for the immediate high -- he might just have popped them like percocet.

If Limbaugh were honest, he would demand to be prosecuted.

My, my, my. Twice in re-hab already too. No doubt one of those $60K programs that street adicts never see. I guess that puts the lie to the right's meme that being unable to kick a habit is a sign of personal weakness.

But I have to disagree with your assessment of oxycontin as an "elite drug". While it used to be, it is now a street drug, and at least here in Florida we are starting to toss doctors in jail who are not super careful in how they perscribe it.

Also, there is a big matter of quantity involved here. The quantities mentioned seem way too high for even an adict to tollerate, especially considering other drugs were also involved. There is definitely going to be a suggestion that he was passing it on to others. And if that is the case, Rush's next treatment program will be from inside a jail. No out-patient if you're a dealer.

Rush Limbaugh Is A Big Fat Idiot (sorry - couldn't resist), so his tolerance levels start out higher than a "normal" sized person. Add the constant usage (the effectiveness of which decreases over time) with a coincident increase in usage for the same effect, and the quantity numbers begin to make some sense.

It is very interesting that Oxycontin has been reported as causing deafness in abusers. I wonder if Limbaugh has "heard" this.

I'm guessing it'll involve sex. Crazy drug-fueled orgies.

Or, maybe the story is false.

its amazing. not saying its not true, maybe it is , well see. but for god sakes there are no charges yet. why dont we wait to see what happens before we so anxiously pass our judgement. isnt that what you all claim rush does. "pass judgement about things he knows nothing about" youd all do well to wait and see before spewing junk before you know the truth. that way you dont look like idiots later!!!!!

its called an elite drug because you can only get it through prescription originally...
