BE MORE RESPONSIBLE

To the editor:

I read with interest the article in Thursday's (May 30 paper) about police 
finding remnants of a methcathinone lab which makes the drug they call 
"cat." A state policeman stated that "cat" is nasty and we've got to put a 
stop to it. I agree with him. This is a very dangerous drug which can cause 
great harm, or even death, to our young people. Then why did the paper 
proceed to publish the ingredients which make up this drug and where they 
could be purchased? You will probably say that this information could be 
found on the Internet or that kids probably already know how "cat" is made. 
That may be true, but it still doesn't excuse the paper for making this 
information available to every kid who might decide to try it. For those 
who might not have the information, it's an open invitation. Publish the 
dangers of "cat," but please be more responsible about adding to the problem.
