Does Rush's 29 Viagra pills effect his plea deal?

:)

grovelling and a deal is being cut.

lets not let him wiggle out of this one

who would falsify the prescription label?

Doctors do it all the time.

that the name on the bottle being wrong was a mistake. Given the interminable time one usually has to wait to get an prescription filled, and the general paranoia around drugs getting into the wrong hands, I seriously doubt that explanation.

And if pharmacies really do issue prescriptions under false names for privacy purposes (another explanation making the rounds), that ought to end now. But that sounds like bull as well.

I'm not a lawyer, but here's what they had to say.

"It is generally not illegal under Florida law for a physician to prescribe medication in a third party's name if all parties are aware and the doctor documents it correctly, said Mike Edmondson, a spokesman for the state attorney in Palm Beach County. He would not discuss specifics in the Limbaugh case Tuesday."

"This latest case may simply be dismissed if prosecutors can confirm with Limbaugh's doctor that the prescription was indeed for Limbaugh, said Kendall Coffey, a former U.S. attorney in Florida.

"It's perhaps a little embarrassing but not highly incriminating," Coffey said.

In addition, possession of Viagra is in a "completely different universe than a matter that would involve Schedule Two (controlled) substances such as OxyContin" Coffey added."

Damned if I know

:shrug:

Boggles the mind. Are we to believe that prescription labels are not documents, and are not regulated in any way? They're running quite a show down there in Florida.

And I had no idea that Marijuana, not being addictive, is not a controlled substance. Smoke up!
