It is a top 20 school thing.

The schools with rich kids apparently do this based on what the kids are saying.

It's a frat thing.

Did some of you people grow up in barns out in the Midwest? Cigarettes are not associated with “bad” kids. It’s not the 1950s. It’s more females than males who smoke. Some do it instead of eating, some do it because it helps during a really stressful incident, some are social smokers who only smoke at parties with alcohol. It’s not like the old days but some kids still smoke. They tend to quit after college when they go into the adult world.

I hope fentanyl isn’t at colleges, that’s sad. Cocaine has been on campuses for decades, so has Molly and for the studious kids methamphetamines.

It may be there, but not every kid sees it, and it is easy to get through college without any of that crap.

You're speaking of addiction?
What are the odds that a few uses will turn into regular college use? And then turn into long-term addiction?
I know very little about any of this but my child has high school classmates who are using in college.

I was around it a decent amount due to where I went to school and where I worked right after college. A lot of my coworkers used it. I have a couple friends who died from overdoses. Even the expensive stuff is now laced with fentanyl.

Higher than you would like to believe. The problem is, you don’t know who is more prone to addiction until you get started. And how do you get started? Try it one time, for “fun.” You have a good time and decide it’s no big deal, because stupid 21 year old you thinks you can handle it.

I think it’s hard not to see it if you go to certain schools and work certain jobs but you don’t have to use it. I’ve seen it a decent amount but I don’t use and never felt pressured to even though I was around it.

Post on Tulane parent page recently talked about students doing cocaine openly at a football game. I don’t understand why the schools don’t crack down on this.

SMU and Tulane have around 50% of kids with kids with families in the top 10% of median family income.

State school kid (not wealthy) recently mentioned that she estimates 40% of the people she knows there do coke regularly.

I have a friend whose daughter died because she used cocaine laced with fentanyl. OD.

She is broken bc of what happened to her daughter.

Fentanyl is in everything. This is not the time to experiment with drugs. And any rich boy frat that’s normalizing hard drug use like cocaine needs to disappear.

It always amazes me how naive DCUM moms are. There are now and always have been drugs everywhere. When did you all become your grandmothers?
