I don't know, it seems like the reporter worded it wrong. I mean Festus is fucked up and controllable now and Punk would GIVE him pills to fix him and control him? That doesn't really make sense. Regardless though, Airfixx is right in that Straightedge is really all about making yourself a better person, and using one's drug/alcohol/smoking problems to your advantage would be a dick move, but it'd also be a statement about that person's problems, so I wouldn't put it past anyone.
