The acceptable drugs for freshman in college is without a doubt Weed. marijuana to be exact. Not only is this drug prevalent in all areas of college it is socially acceptable as a way to relax from the college drama and issues. It is especially drug of choice because it is a hot topic due to the fact that California has made it partially legal to grow and sell. I do not smoke marijuana because i use sports and other physical abilities to let out my stress into a positive area as some college students do not. There are several temptations in college as the parties get out of control and it is very easy to lose yourself. And i have been to one recently where i had to help this person who was drunk out of the house. I physically had to pick them up and carry them out due to them being drunk.
Another acceptable taboo is drinking. Most of my friends drink and do it occasionally. I do not drink for the same reason why i don't smoke but i find it a taboo i will never mess with. My friends on the other hand will. And not only will they drink, they will get drunk like you see on movies falling over everything. These two drugs are the easiest access and are prevalent in college. Its even a stereotype that college students will do these things their first year. My doctor even told me that my stand on drinking and smoking will most likely change but i hold fast to my beliefs and control myself and continue playing sports and not doing anything negative to my body.

That's similar to how I was in high school and in college. I did not drink or smoke ... not because I was an athlete, but because my parents didn't drink or smoke and I didn't like the taste of it.
ReplyDeleteI did change over time, and I now enjoy having a drink once in a while, but I never understood the appeal of getting drunk. I think I avoided a lot of problems by staying sober when I was your age ... and I suspect you will too.
