Drugs

there's a few potheads, I've never seen the stuff in person though.

There If You Want It

Almost everyone I personally know at Wake drinks at least once or twice a week (although most do more). Within Greek life, it is extremely rare to find people who don't drink, but I do know that there are many people not involved in Greek life who do not drink. We all complain about alcohol enforcement in terms of the local police and ALE (Alcohol Law Enforcement agency), but they really aren't that bad comparatively speaking. On-campus enforcement is also minimal.

Alternatively, drugs aren't seen openly that much at all. Some fraternities/sororities have reputations for being involved with certain drugs, but even these groups try to keep it under wraps. So not doing drugs is usually the norm and drugs aren't usually openly offered and certainly never forced.

The biggest drug that is used here is actually Adderall and even that is mostly used to study. I guess that says something about Wake in itself...

School Is Pretty Lenient

Most people just drink at Wake Forest, and alcohol is very easily obtained. In fact, the school built a facility known as the Barn, (which has been placed pretty far from the rest of the campus, so that the noise doesn't bother anyone) mainly dedicated for partying. The university has an amnesty policy for drinking, which means that if someone who is drunk actively seeks help, there won't be significant consequences. In other words, the school doesn't really take drinking all that seriously. As far as drug scene goes, there isn't much more than marijuana and the occasional roofie on campus.
