I’ve never done drugs and so far no one at Appalachian has ever pressured me to do them. Though after reading the Naked Roommate I learned that if I have friends who do drugs I will eventually start doing them myself.

If someone does drugs around strangers I feel like there is a chance they will be taken advantage of by those strangers. Also doing drugs in an unsafe place puts a person in greater risk for becoming injured. I don’t do drugs, but if I ever experiment with drugs it will be with my friends and in a familiar place.

In addition to functions, bring food from is another option then just spending a lot of
