University of Oklahoma - Drug Scene

Quick Stats

College Prowler Take

Drugs are not always visible on and around campus. However, if you ask around, students will tell you that they are easy to find. The common drugs of choice are marijuana and of course alcohol—yes, alcohol is a drug. The state of Oklahoma was once known for having the most meth labs in the country. However, I’m pretty sure that none of the people responsible attend the University of Oklahoma. Marijuana seems to be the drug of choice for those students wishing to partake in drug usage, but it’s still only something you would see in a back room at a party. In other words, there are no noticeable drug problems on campus.

Most OU students comment that they have friends that do some sort of drug or have done it in the past, but most do not admit that it runs rampant. People are pretty discrete if they are using, and big changes in behavior or drawing attention to yourself is the way that drug use becomes noticeable. People want to blame the Greeks for drug use, but in all probability, your average student may use it, too. The key is that it’s done under wraps, and the majority of drug users at OU are, in fact, covert.

Pretty Strict A I know the dorms are very strict about alcohol, and some of the RAs are very serious about it. If you are in the greek scene, I guess alcohol is pretty popular, but it's very limited on campus 12345 Drug Scene: February 26, 2010 Report
