Rush Says Reefer High an Oxymoron; Morons Disagree

I don't need life 'cause I'm high on drugs. According to Limbaugh, "Reefer is for sissy, tidy-whitey wearin' liberals with no moral fortitude to face the hard stuff."

Over 20 million Americans enthusiastically enjoy the effects of marijuana each year. Its overwhelming popularity can be attributed to the hardiness of the plant source and an exceptionally devoted consumer base.

Still, incendiary radio personality, Rush Limbaugh referred to the drug as "hype in a pipe" during a heated discussion yesterday on his syndicated "The Rush Limbaugh Show." Limbaugh is known as a staunch supporter of big business and the remarks were made after a caller described marijuana highs as superior to those generated by OxyContin.

"There's no comparison," retorted Limbaugh. "Oxy isn't even in the same ballpark as weed. The liberal media trumps weed up because they hate the pharmaceutical industry and they want to see a natural product continue to thrive. Shit, half the time when I smoke a doobie I don't even feel it. Now if you want to compare oxy with smack, then maybe we have a discussion."

Limbaugh's critics say his comments are biased. OxyContin is a product of industry. Andrew Coleman, spokesman for the marijuana advocacy group NORML added:

"Rush wants us all to do oxy because oxy feeds the machine, man. Do you want to feed the machine?"

Above: While physical restraint may be necessary during detox, over-wrapping should be avoided.

Although Limbaugh could not be reached for comment, a spokesman assured us that neither Rush or any station in his affiliate networks wishes its listeners to feed the machine. The spokesman went on to say: "Quality is Ford's job 1, Enjoy Coca-Cola and be sure to ask your doctor about Celebrex."
