There are some other links I have somewhere that talk about how to write proper/professional/mature letters to the editor, letters to reps, etc. When I find 'em I'll try to get back here to post 'em.

Take it easy. Thanks Anne & Eiwe and everybody else working to streamline the search for knowledge.

Please let it be understood that BLUELIGHT is NOT a good place to get information about drugs. Read anything on Bluelight at your own risk! There is alot of mis-information and myths circulating on that website. If it is information you are looking for stick with http://erowid.org or http://www.dancesafe.org

[zephren]

Hey! I made that comment about Bluelight a million years ago in a completely different thread. I dont appriciate that being posted here. I no longer wish to give any advice of any kind to anyone who uses Draves.

[zephren]

Im glad to see that you can follow the no bashing rule. : )
Your a true gentlemen indeed.

Ok, I've sent more than one letter in, and forwarded everyone I know to do the same.....what else can we do..

KEEP TRYING PEEPS.......THEY CAN'T STOP THE MOVEMENT!!!!!!!!

Ok, don't ask where that last post of mine came from. I didn't realize I put it under this thread. Next time, I'll pay more attention!

Clean urine for drug tests. Don't waste your money on other drinks that promise to clean you out. Check it out!!!
