Here's the article at which the horse-riding classes took such umbrage, btw: Equasy – An overlooked addiction with implications for the current debate on drug harms. DJ Nutt Psychopharmacology Unit, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK. Journal of Psychopharmacology 23(1) (2009) 3 – 5 http://www.synchronium.net/2009/11/02/equasy/ http://www.synchronium.net/2009/11/02/equasy/ Non-statistical anecdote: in my own acquaintance, I've known countless people who have taken MDMA, but never has my attention been called to the fact that any of them suffered from an acute harm episode as a result. However, I do know someone -- very respected in his field -- who suffered from not only permanent nerve damage, but (obviously) noticeable personality changes due to the use (or overuse -- doesn't matter) of painkillers after a rather nasty fall from a horse.
