My mother told me of students popping Benzedrine at King's College, London
I have a friend whose daughter smoked cannabis at university and developed a severe psychosis from she still has not recovered. Andrew, we are simply throwing anecdotal evidence at each other, and it doesn't amount to a row of beans. The truth is contained in across-the-board statistics from reputable bodies, and not in this 'our kids are great' guff. It seems to me that the people who are now trying bravely to combat a drug and alcohol culture amongst young children were not inspired to do so by the complacent idea that 'children have always misbehaved since Cicero's time, so what's new?' I feel strongly about this, but as it is getting too far from AR I will take a leaf out of Owen's book and not post any more on this topic.
