	Prolixin is a potent long acting human antipsychotic drug. IT's effects
last longer than the time period for which it is detectable. That is why
the hunter/jumper crowd use it. It is, under the AHSA rules, a prohibited
substance.
	I am bemused to see the number of posts over the last few days decrying
the use of bute while advocating using foreign substances, be they natural
or otherwise, to affect a horse's mind...
