Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Despite efforts by the UPD, the Delaware County Drug Task Force, and other agencies, Ball State has a well-established drug scene. Many of the students interviewed agreed drugs are available to pretty much anyone who wants them. Marijuana is by far the most popular illegal drug on campus. Prescription drugs such as Vicodin, Xanax, and Adderall are gaining in popularity. Sometimes called “pharmies” or pharmaceutical drugs, they are seen by many students as less of a liability than pot, which is easily detected by law enforcement.

Harder drugs such as cocaine, opium, and methamphetamine tend to be used by small, tightly-knit groups of students and are generally not seen around campus. Despite the easy access Ball State students have to drugs, the majority interviewed said they do not use them often, if at all. Alcohol, on the other hand, is a prevalent part of Ball State’s campus culture and is far more ubiquitous than illicit drugs.

Drugs at BSU

BSU is a popular college so of course there are going to be drugs here. A lot of people drink and do drugs. There is a lot of peer pressure if you are involved with greek life. The policies are enforced.

Present Yet Not a Problem

I am aware that the usage of drugs are present by some students that attend my school. However the members are not suffering academically nor have they lost there status of being a student. All campuses have drugs as a factor my school has kept it to a minimum.
