DON'T MAKE IT EASIER FOR KIDS TO TRY DRUG

I am taking it upon myself to address the Register on behalf of all
parents of child-rearing age. Your April 26 Metro front-page article
describing the drug salvia divinorum not only told of the tantalizing
effects and reasonable cost ($9), but also explained just how to use
the drug and where to obtain it.

If that weren't enough to raise the ire of your readers, you
announced in the headline that its use is "completely legal in Iowa."

Was all that information really necessary?
