I was happy to see that you had "What do you think?" at the side of the article, about crystal meth. My true thoughts are as follows ... it's one thing writing about crystal meth, which is high on the drug trade at this point. But to print the ingredients is out of the question. It's bad enough you can get them on the Internet and from kids at the local school but for the local newspaper to print them is not a good idea, in my thoughts. I can thank the Now newspaper for letting all know about the making of crystal meth ... and just don't go to the Canadian Tire in Newton go somewhere else. And if you read the ingredients, most homes have those already, so you just made it easier for the meth cooks to cook meth up. So, all in all, I am very disappointed in the article, and would suggest the next time when writing about drugs and "making" them, don't include the ingredients, let the "cooks" find that out for themselves.
