"Rush was never found with drugs on him; he simply admitted to using them." Self admitted drug use. Last time I checked, when you confess that's fairly good evidence.
"Tommy Chong was actually selling drug supplies." Tommy sold an item that is for sale in a shop not 200 yrds from my city's Police Dept, and I live in Texas! Shop has been there two years now. The item that Tommy sold was a pipe. Some call it a waterpipe. Some call it a bong. Some call it a hookaa, I probably spelled it wrong. Anyhoo, there is not a pipe monitor that insists that you put anything illegal in your pipe of choice. I prefer Meershaum for cool tobacco flavor, mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Tommy is in custody because someone decided that the items he sold were evil. No one that bought any item from him can possibly be held responsible for any crime, like say smoking a plant that has not been approved by the powers that be, after all it's Tommy's fault for selling them that evil item. Meanwhile, Rush has decided that he is better now and ready to resume his life. Fame had quite a different result for these two. Makes little difference what you did or didn't do, what matters most is how are you percieved. I heard Rush for 20 min back in the early 90's and that was enough for me. The "talent on loan from God" did it for me. Good thing that Rush is back to work, some people like him. I'd be happy to see Tommy back to work too, some people like him.
