CORRECTION

Our headline "Ecstasy not dangerous to users, say scientists", on page 8 of
our September 5 issue was not justified by the report to which it referred.
One of the psychologists quoted, Dr Jon Cole, has asked us to make it clear
he has never said that Ecstasy was not dangerous and that he did not speak
directly to our reporter.

The editor of the magazine the Psychologist, the original source of our
report, points out that the psychologists state: ". . . no one should
underestimate the dangers of illegally using controlled drugs. There is the
very real possibility that Ecstasy use will cause long-term damage to the
brain." The full article is at
