This is probably going to seem like a weird question, but as someone who is hopefully going to Lancaster later this year I want to ask, how popular are drugs?
There's been news that five students took a legal high (spice) and have been hospitalized, two of them in critical condition. Which could happen anywhere, sure, but the university issued a statement saying, basically, "yeah call 999 if any of your friends might die from drug use." Like wow, thanks for the insight...
It seemed surprisingly nonchalant for what I think is a pretty serious issue? I just want to know how seriously Lancaster uni takes drug use and if anyone can fill me in on how the uni is currently dealing with this situation, I'd love to know.
My main concern is that it's very easy to find info on spice as being a very damaging legal high, and Lancaster uni don't seem to have issued any information on how dangerous the drug is, which is concerning. I know it's a personal choice whether or not to take drugs, but a uni is still an institution where I think students need to be clued up. Do you think they're doing enough?
Thanks.
