FYI:
The penalty for illegally buying large quantities of prescription painkillers in Florida can be five years in jail, and contrary to some published reports, prosecutors do go after users as well as pushers—especially if they want to make an example of a celebrity.

And you write,
Well kenny, if that celebrity had had an operation and became addicted because of pain, I doubt he would have said much. On the other hand if it was a party animal using the drugs to get high for fun that is different.
He won't go to prison, of course. What he recommends for those w/o Roy Black as their attorney, he will avoid for himself. In the same speech that he wasn't going to make excuses and would take responsibility, and referred to his massive quantities of illegal heroin-like drugs as "pain medications." LOL. Yeah, the pain of not getting high.
Once the acute pain had passed, every pill after that was party time. He didn't leave the hospital after his two expensive, easy detoxes (24 hours, under anesthesia) in pain that wasn't controllable by innocuous if unexciting means.
And pain that isn't increasing over time (as pain from a growing tumor does, for example) doesn't require ever more massive doses to address. NO doctor, no pain management specialist, would have prescribed what he was taking. The effect that does require ever greater doses that is the one all drug abusers seek. The heroin-like effects. He was a hard core drug abuser, exactly like the ones you see spaced out in the gutter in NYC, and a hard core hypocrite.
If you think Limbaugh wouldn't have "made much of it" if, say, Al Franken, or Bill Clinton, had been a drug abuser for years, using his housekeeper as a supplier, and had recommended deporting and jailing drug abusers, your perceptual apparati need work.
As for "sans any feeling," there is nothing about back pain, morphine, and oxy IR or oxycontin I don't know from personal experience. And I'm laughing at his excuses for continuing the drugs once the pain was otherwise manageable. I'm laughing at him acting pitiful when his two detoxes weren't even cold turkey. Big lying, self-indulgent, hypocritical sissy. |
