Florida State University - Drug Scene

Quick Stats

College Prowler Take

While illegal drugs are present on campus, they aren’t highly visible, and most students don’t pay much attention to them. Alcohol and marijuana are the drugs of choice, although harder stuff, like ecstasy and amphetamines are available if you know where to look. Although some hard drugs are present, serious abuse is not a problem here. FSU does have a student chapter of NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws), and we recently saw the first of what is planned to become an annual Hemp Fest held in Doak Campbell Stadium.

FSU has a very strict drug policy. However, the users and abusers tend to stay off the radar, so you won’t hear much about arrests and expulsions. For the most part, the drug culture is quiet and secretive. People who want to be involved in it can find it on their own, while those who prefer to stay clean won’t be tempted. Drugs aren’t pushed on anyone, and no one will be forced to do them should they choose not to. It isn’t as if dealers are vending their wares in the hallways.

I can’t really comment because I... I can’t really comment because I don’t do drugs. But if I said we were a completely drug-free campus, I’d be lying. It’s around, but it’s not like people are getting wasted in the hallways or anything. 12345 Drug Scene Report

Lots of drugs are available... Lots of drugs are available locally, but I’m not sure if this is campus specific. That stuff is available no matter where you go. It’s up to you whether you’re going to do drugs or not. 12345 Drug Scene Report

There is a drug scene, though it’s... There is a drug scene, though it’s kind of hush. People don’t walk around talking about it. If you use drugs, you won’t have trouble finding them, but if you don’t, you won’t have to worry about being surrounded by the drug culture. 12345 Drug Scene Report

Yeah, you can get just about... Yeah, you can get just about anything you want, but most students stay away from the hard stuff. People just want to have a good time, so drinking and a little pot is about all I ever see. 12345 Drug Scene Report

I’d say that more students abuse... I’d say that more students abuse alcohol than drugs. Heavy drinking can be a problem, but I don’t hear much about drug problems. 12345 Drug Scene Report
