[RC] Keeping "real" drugs out of the AERC - k s swigartTruman said: If the AERC can keep "real drugs" out of our sport they are doing all of us a great favor and given the push to allow gastroguard it is a given that not all members feel that way. We need to keep the real drugs out of the sport and stop worrying about plants that might have an effect in humans. Let's keep our eye on the ball and keep the drug companies for dictating which horses win endurance rides. Worrying about herbs and supplements is IMO a distraction to that goal. Per this logic I should be allowed to use cocaine and heroine on my horse during competition, after all, they are just herbal supplements, nothing that the AERC should be worrying about. A goodly portion of today's most potent drugs are nothing more than "plants that have an effect..." That is, after all, where most drugs come from. An arguement that they aren't "real drugs" because of their origin is specious. kat Orange County, Calif. ============================================================ REAL endurance is dressing for 20 degrees in the AM and by noon its 85 degrees! ~ Heidi Sowards ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
