I don't buy the idea of "medical use" of marijuana.

I think it's a way for pottheads to circumvent the law and get high. And I fail to see that marijuana is somehow superior to other (legal) pain releivers.

Regarding whether Rush was putting his maid at risk, I think that's a lot of horse puckey. They would always prosecute Rush, and not the maid. And how do you know she didn't just pick up his Oxycontin at the drugstore from a prescription?(He could have maneuvered to get a legal prescription to fill his habit) I don't know that the details have been disclosed.

There are a lot of possibilities, possibly even that she solicited that she could get the drugs for him.

No doubt she was paid for her services, and could have refused. Next you'll tell me Rush held a gun to her head.

There are details we won't know until the police investigation of it is made public.
