STORY IN POOR TASTE

I found it in poor taste in the September 24 edition of the Sentinel
to advertise the where "magic mushrooms" are growing in town (Police
Beat).

My concern is that people who would like to try these drugs will
either:

a) know exactly where to obtain some and further an addiction to
drugs, or

b) may make a crucial error by ingesting a deadlier, poisonous
mushroom.

Another question I have is if the police and other authority figures
know the locations to where drugs such as these are growing -
especially within town limits - why do they not do something about it?
Has anything been attempted?

Surely there are many organic, enviro-friendly ways of preventing the
growth of these mushrooms.

Come on Kitimat, let's step up to the plate and take responsibility
for keeping our youth drug free.

I dare you.
