Wasn't Catcher In The Rye banned in some school districts?

I read up on this book a little while ago. As far as I recall, this book is not illegal in the United States - we even had a copy in our public school library when I was in middle school - but I think it has been made illegal in the UK. As for its contents, it's been widely recognized as false information. The author has denounced his own book as garbage he made up to "shock the system." There are several versions floating around the internet claiming to be the real deal, but as far as my research went they were all pretty much the same crap as before. If you really find yourself wanting to know how to make crazy things, just take a Chemistry class. You'll learn the facts and you probably won't accidentally lose a limb.
