My Email to this King 5 News
In response to the article "A Warning About a Popular New Drug," I
must say the lack of knowledge regarding the subject written about,
Salvia, is nearly offensive. Perhaps journalists and reporters who
write articles should actually know what they are writing about.
And no, getting some vague quote by the most illiterate user of the
drug you could find really doesnt cut it. "It messed me up good. It
got my heart beating really fast,it was hard to breath, hard to
concentrate it, made me thirsty." What are you trying to describe
here, excercise fatigue? The attempt at demonizing Salvia by
correlating it with LSD was also rather unfounded, for if the
author of this article had any clue about either drug they would
have realized that not only the effects are quite different, but
the chemical stuctures are so distant that horrendous would be a
mild verb in describing this informational travesty. And what else
did you say? Party drug? Party Drug? Party drugs are usually drugs
that are taken at parties. Anyone who is careless enough to take
Salvia at a party couldnt be considered competant to answer
questions, at least ones that should merit use in a informational
article. Someone who can't realize this definately doesn't merit a
job in reporting either. Responsibility is not shown by people who
smoke Salvia at parties, drive drunk, or publish ridiculously
misinformational articles. Perhaps if you would like to help the
populace of Seattle in assesing this "popular party drug" you could
actually publish some reliable information. Reliable information
stimulates responsibilty, yet when people are so concerned about
the detrimental effects of drugs reliable information is few and
far between in the churning oceans of misinformation and ignorance
that the article "A Warning About a Popular New Drug" has become a
part of.
Sincerely,
A Concerned Informant
Take that shitheads! I made some spelling errors, and put verb instead of adjective, but yet I think I got my point across.
