Temple University - Drug Scene

There definitely are drugs here

It's really weird to me that everyone is (for the most part) saying that there are no drugs. That's not true at all. Tons and tons of people smoke, and it's pretty easy to get away with on campus. Usually if campus police catch you they'll just tell you they hope it's tobacco and then they tell you to dump your bowl out and get the heck outta there. You can get pretty good weed or you can get bad weed. It's also pretty easy to get acid and opium. Coke is also around. And, of course, everyone drinks. Thursday through Saturday are the big partying nights but people do drink at other points during the week. The people doing drugs aren't crazy druggies, they're smart people who have open minds and don't overdo anything. There are a lot of stoners at Temple though, but they're all smart people who are fabulous to have a conversation with.

I don’t know much about drugs—I’m no druggie. I’ve known a couple people who sold drugs, though, so they’re there like anywhere else.

The drug scene on campus is quiet. Plenty of people smoke weed but that’s anywhere. The story is that there are people do hard drugs, and few people know about it.

My next door neighbors did it, and I was the RA. I caught them like twice, and nothing happened to them.

I guess drugs are used just about as much as anywhere else. I don’t do them. But if you walk by that wall near Peabody, everyone is down there smoking, and people do it in the dorms all the time.
