Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

It’s a well-known fact among many Eugenians that weed spreads like wildfire and is readily available for anyone who wants it. UO’s drug scene could be frowned on by some, based on how readily available such substances as marijuana and mushrooms are. However, one characteristic of the drug scene around Eugene is that peer pressure is rarely an issue; although there is a visible segment of the population that chooses to partake, you’re not likely to feel left out if you say no. Security officials do make an effort to combat drug pushers, but marijuana (and other drugs, to a lesser degree) are still easy to come by. Students speak of harder drugs such as cocaine and LSD being common, but everything besides marijuana and mushrooms seems to be kept quiet.

UO’s drug scene is very lifestyle-based, which means that it’s easy to avoid. If you choose not to hang out with people who do drugs, you may not even encounter them during your time on campus. Although it seems like the drug scene is more prevalent than at other colleges, the absence of peer pressure and pushing means that the campus still has a safe, positive atmosphere overall.

Lots of It

The one thing about University of Oregon being located in Eugene is that it is extremely common to run into drugs. A lot of people do them and they are everywhere. People don't try to pressure you into doing them, but it causes some problems in certain areas around campus because it makes them a bit crazy. I have found that meth is very common, although weed is the most common of all.

Police Protect Students

The drug scene in Eugene is fairly large, mainly being Marijuana. Much drinking occurs off campus at local night life and bars around town, but on campus, it is nowhere to be seen. Campus is a place for academics. Police regularly patrol on Friday and Saturday nights, ready to shut down any party near campus.
