NOW EVERYBODY KNOWS

Re "Salvia: Freaky, legal" (Sept. 14): Do you honestly think putting the
story about Salvia and its effects on the front page of your paper is going
to scare people away from it? You went into so much detail on how to smoke
it, its effects, that it can be bought at convenience stores or on the
Internet with no age restrictions, and that there are recorded trips on
YouTube. You might as well have handed out free samples to anyone who wants
to try it. Lots of people who take drugs would be willing to try anything
for a new high and you've introduced them to something most people didn't
know about.
