FEWER DEATHS Commenting on the recent ecstasy-related death of a 19-year-old man, Guy Buehler wonders why people are still taking "that stuff." It's the same situation with alcohol, cigarettes, anything you put into your body. People are going to do it because they can and enjoy it. I'd like to wager that if the drug was a regulated substance, we would see fewer deaths, as it isn't uncommon for the stuff to be synthesized by people who don't know what they're doing or who have ill intentions.
