For Real

<p>Hey everyone. There's a question I want answered once and for all. Are reedies potheads?</p>

<p>I'm perfectly fine with going to a school where people do drugs, but I don't want to go to a college where the people enjoy doing drugs more than their academic work or who do nothing except drugs studying and sleeping. Will I have a problem with this at Reed?</p>

<p>Here's the best data available:</p>

<p>Please tell us what you think after reading this.</p>

<p>Hey Vossron, I'm not sure if the stats are any diff but pluralistic ignorance project has a more updated version at <a href="http://academic.reed.edu/psychology/psy322/pluralisticignorance2/home.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://academic.reed.edu/psychology/psy322/pluralisticignorance2/home.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>I think it's very helpful. Thanks a lot.</p>

<p>Very helpful indeed! Good attitude: while 25% said they never used marijuana, only half that number answered "never" to the question about what constituted responsible use</p>

<p>They don't call it Weed College for no reason.</p>

<p>Are Reedies potheads?</p>

<p>No.</p>

<p>While drugs are certainly present, anyone allows drugs to interfere with academics either changes his priorities quickly or drops out.</p>

<p>If this is a real concern for you, consider applying for one of the sub-free dorms.</p>

<p>Personally, though, I've never had any social trouble being straight-edge at Reed.</p>
