Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Students don’t have much to say about the drug scene at MSU, which speaks to its general absence around East Lansing. On the whole, the students at MSU agree that drugs are rarely seen on campus. The most commonly-reported drugs were, by far, alcohol and marijuana. It’s pretty rare to attend a party with someone selling or using drugs—most students steer clear of pot and harder drugs when they head out to parties. There are a few students who admit to smoking pot in their dorm rooms, but these only represent a small percentage of students at MSU. A majority of the student population is smart enough to avoid getting into situations where they could put themselves in danger or get in trouble with the law.

Underage students who do get caught with alcohol often face the hefty fines and inconveniences that come with getting an MIP (Minor in Possession). This can include being required to attend substance education programs or having to wake up early every morning to find out whether they have to go in for substance abuse screening. Students who repeatedly break the law or are caught selling illegal drugs can be suspended from the University.

Green Beer

Michigan State University has a drug scene but the choice of drug is usually marijuana or Adderall (used for increased school performance). Alcohol is the recreational choice on campus. We love our alcohol so much so that St. Patrick's Day is more like a celebration of Michigan State's school color green rather than its typical celebration. We love our green beer and would not mind if it was served year round. The police are very good at cracking down on students and minimizing public displays of inebriation. No one forces you into drinking or doing drugs, it is not a necessity of being a Spartan.

Drinking & Smoking Are Both Equally Popular

The majority of the students on the Michigan State University campus drink and smoke, but usually not at the same time. If a group of students drink, the other may smoke. Drinking is also more accepted than drugs so it is more visible on campus. Drugs are only heard about and usually done in a private environment.

There is little peer pressure unless you are in a group of individuals who has to drink or smoke all the time. Usually students at this age are alright with others being uncomfortable around drugs and alcohol and let it pass without pressure on them.

You want it, you got it.

Drugs are everywhere around campus. Alcohol and weed are definitely the most prevalent, but you can score most anything. LSD, shrooms, addy, molly, e, coke. Lansing is right down the street from campus. Trust me, a lot of people abuse drugs. Pills are harder to come by, but someone knows someone who knows someone.
