| Description | An anonymous questionnaire survey was carried out to assess the drug scene at the University of Ljubljana, the data were statistically analyzed and compared with the results of a similar study carried out in 2006 among students of Masaryk University Brno. The comparison of the drug scene at the two universities indicated, among others, that opiates were more easily available to Slovenian university students, who also use hemp drugs, stimulant drugs and volatile substances more frequently. University students in Brno, on the other hand, more often consume hallucinogens, particularly hallucinogenic mushrooms. Hemp drugs, particularly marijuana, have become the most popular illegal drugs for students at both universities. Taking addictive substances is currently present in the university population to the extent that is not negligible. Bearing in mind that many university students after graduation in their professions operate on youth and that they are authority figures for the public, then these findings are particularly alarming. |
