True enough. Rush should have had adequate palliation
available to him thru his physician or a pain clinic without breaking
the law... Sometimes this is all we physicians have to offer.
This is just one more unexpected consequence of the "War on Drugs".
BTW, cocaine doesn't cause "sexy feelings". More the
opposite, in fact... And once tolerance develops, a matter of a
few weeks, most people do not "get high" on opiates. They mainly
take the drug to avoid withdrawl. Methadone maintenance depends on
this effect.
