SEE MAGAZINE BETRAYS RAVESAFE WITH 'ANTI-DRUG' ARTICLE

Editor, SEE:

The three-letter acronym is PMA, not PDA as printed in SEE's Nov. 2-8 
article Ravers warned of "bad" Ecstasy.

I can't believe how much you turned on us. We are trying to prevent deaths 
in Edmonton and you are attacking our credibility. This deceit called PMA 
has already claimed lives. What did they die for? I suppose you are too 
closed-minded to see that there is an open-minded harm reduction society 
established around the corner with the intention to save lives. We operate 
under the assumption that people will use drugs regardless of the dare 
tactics and we are trying to make sure that people have clear and unbiased 
information by which they can make prudent decisions.

Thank you again for making your article about the organization and not the 
death threat. At least one of us is on the right side.
