RE: [RC] claming agents that won't test positive, know any? - heidi

Most herbal essences are small concentrations of plants normally
occurring in a pasture. Therefore they do not meet the test of an
"abnormal substance"  nor do they meet the test of a "normal substance
in an abnormal amount". Looks like a permitted substance to me, until
and unless you fed several bottles of it at once and exceed a normal
amount.

A great many drugs come from "plants that normally occur in a pasture."  I
would submit that a pasture containing such plants is one that perhaps
needs to be replanted.  The salicylates in yucca are a case in point. 
Such things as digitalis, atropine, etc. are quite clearly drugs, but
occur in "plants normally occurring in a pasture."  And the tolerance for
them is zero.  If it isn't a grass or a legume that is a normal forage, it
doesn't matter where it grows--be suspicious of having your endurance
horse eat it!
