[RC] [Consider This] Ecstasy and horse-riding don't mix, drug expertdiscovers - Endurance.Net - Kitley, Carrie E Civ USAF AFSPC 30 MDSS/SGSLF

This Prof Nutt is just that, a nut!  If he's going to venture to compare
something totally unhealthy to something completely healthy, i.e. horse
riding, then he better include every other sport ever played because
they ALL have their relative risks.  Heck!!  Might as well compare
driving a car to taking drugs as well.

A British drug expert who drew comparisons between the risks of taking
ecstasy and horse-riding continues to cop flak over his published
comments.

Professor David Nutt received a call from a displeased British Home
Secretary after his views were published in the Journal of
Psychopharmacology, and now the British Horse Society has waded into the
debate.

Nutt, who is chairman of Britain's Advisory Council on the Misuse of
Drugs (ACMD), penned an article entitled "Equasy - An overlooked
addiction with implications for the current debate on drug".
