It is not horseriding.

I was surprised to read in the weekend press that a Professor who shares three quarters of my name and who advises the Government on drug misuse has commented that when it comes to dangerous pursuits taking the drug Ecstasy is on a par with horseriding. When I speak to parents one of their biggest fears is that their children might become involved with drugs. I think that Government advisors should be stressing the dangers of drugs not trying to play them down.
