College Prowler Take

Students do not deny the presence and habitual use of drugs at UW. Whether it is alcohol, marijuana, or prescription pills, many have seen or experienced drug use first-hand. The easiest drugs to obtain are alcohol and marijuana. Students say that house parties and dorms are some of the easiest places to obtain these drugs.

The choice to use drugs is really just that—a choice. Students don’t feel pressured to do drugs, and say the amount of drugs being used generally depends on the crowd with which you associate. If the campus or Madison police catch you with illegal substances, there will be consequences. Officers don’t think twice about handing out tickets along with hefty fines.

For freshmen, it's mostly just a lot of pot smoking and drinking. I know some kids who snort coke on occasion, but it's nothing out of control.

If you go here, you’re going to meet people who do drugs. If you want, you’ll find out how to get them. If this bothers you, it’s easy to ignore these people and this scene, but if you’re social, you will run into it. The guys in the drug scene are usually well-educated and laid-back, so you’re not going to be bothered by them if you want nothing to do with them.

I know of prescription drug abuse, cokeheads, and marijuana use, but none of it is forced on anyone. Or at least I haven’t experienced that.

Drugs are pretty big here. There’s tons of weed, and then probably a bit of everything else—cocaine, shrooms, and a lot of pharmaceutical abuse (Ritalin, Adderall, and any pain-killer you can get). This is not to say that everyone is on drugs, because most aren’t.

There is a decent amount of weed smoking, but it depends on who you hang around with. You can do it or you can avoid it.
