Be honest: Are there a lot of druggies at Cal?

<p>Haha calbear, last night’s party was pretty ridiculous :)</p>

<p>^^lol I didn’t go out last night since I had a lot of hwk to do but I went out on Friday night. hmmm…I guess this is the last party weekend for a while…damn finals =(</p>

<p>I’m assuming this thread is filled with a number of incoming freshmen. </p>

<p>Sex and drugs are a part of life. They will be around you at Cal. Whether you choose to partake is up to you.</p>

<p>Some people can handle “doing drugs” occasionally/socially and maintain good/great grades.
Some cannot. </p>

<p>“Drugs” sounds funny to me, though. I assume the person who posed this question considers
weed a drug, since it sounds like it’s coming from someone relatively inexperienced. </p>

<p>Weed is way more common in California, and cops are much more lax on it out here. If you’re
coming from a different part of the country, you may be surprised at its prevalence. Also,
it’s effing college. There is ALWAYS pot around. </p>

<p>Harder drugs tend to be part of a certain scene. I see a lot of cocaine come out either at
A) bars, B) parties (not in piles on glass tables, mind you - usually done by a few kids that
stick around the bathroom area and are quite conspicuous) or C) finals time. Again, it’s just
a part of life. Don’t like it? Don’t stick around. </p>

<p>As for the “druggies don’t get into Cal” argument - that’s just silly. Lots of different kinds
of people out there, kiddo. D.A.R.E.'s rhetoric doesn’t exactly work outside of grade school.</p>

<p>I think people are much more open minded about drug use here, which doesn’t mean everyone uses</p>
