When you enter college you make difficult decisions everyday about what and what not to do. At Frostburg State this is no different because freshman are getting away from the nest for the first time. Smoking marijuana is a common issue freshman are faced with, whether they will or will not smoke. Several students around FSU's campus were asked if marijuana was used more prevalent in high school or college, and why?
Freshman Shahzevb Hussain from Annapolis studying Pre-Med said," marijuana is bigger in high school because there is more peer pressure in high school than there is in college because by the time you have reached college you have primarily established who you are . Also there is a bigger transition from middle school to high school than there is high school to college." Sophomore Whitney Russell from West Hyattsville agreed with Shahzevb. She explained that " high school as much more peer pressure because of the need to fit in. College there are so many different clicks you can be yourself and find a home amongst people like yourself."On the other hand sophomore DeAndre Cooper a Business major from Baltimore said," Definitely college because you are away from your parents and have that much more freedom. You might occasionally try weed in high school but the amount you smoke is more when your in college."
Whether the answer of marijuana being more prevalent in high school or college still leaves room for debate, but we can see drugs play a role in the FSU freshman's life.
