Other Drug Information

While alcohol is the most commonly used and widely abused drug in the world, other drug use, such as marijuana, is prevalent among college students. There is also a growing trend of misusing prescription medications by mixing with alcohol and/or taking someone else’s medication, such as stimulants.  Use, misuse, and abuse of these drugs and any other illicit drugs can lead to serious tragedies, including addiction, violence, sexual assault and rape, hospitalization for overdoses, and premature death.
