I used to joke with parents that they should get their kids a horse(at a horsemanship camp), because then they will be too busy and too broke to get into drugs.

What I love about Reddit is that everyone has free rein to make ridiculous puns.

There's an interesting article by Professor David Nutt’s article looking at the dangers of ecstasy (MDMA) and equestry.

His point was that horse riding (equestrian activity) causes a noticeable number of serious injuries and deaths each year. People fall, suffer head injuries, and even break their necks. Yet, it is widely accepted and legal.

By contrast, MDMA is treated as extremely dangerous and heavily criminalised. Nutt used this comparison to argue that society and drug policy often judge risks irrationally, accepting some activities with real physical danger while strongly condemning others, and that public policy should instead be based on objective evidence of harm rather than cultural bias or stigma.
