Gettysburg College
- Drug Safety

Quick Stats

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Few colleges are totally immune from a drug presence on campus, and Gettysburg is no exception. While alcohol permeates the school, present in dorms, fraternities, and off-campus housing, less socially acceptable drugs, such as marijuana and cocaine, are also accessible for those who want to find them. Prescription drug abuse of medicines has escalated sharply in recent years, as students wanting help cramming during midterms and finals are turning to ADD and ADHD treatments, such as Adderall, to provide extra focusing power.

While it is not difficult to get a hold of drugs on campus, it is even easier to not deal with them at all. Drugs are hardly in your face on campus, and you have to know where to look to find them. Basically if you want drugs, you will be able get them, and if you don’t, you probably won’t ever have to worry about it.

There If You Want It

There are plenty of people that smoke marijuana on campus, and plenty who don't. Harder drugs such as cocaine aren't nearly as popular but if you look hard enough you can find them. Prescription medications are most rampant though.

Drinking Is Prevalent, but Not Overwhelmingly So

Many students drink, but if you choode not to, it isn't difficult to find students with a similar outlook. Drugs are available but only to those who seek them out.
