*The purpose of this blog is to create an open environment where students feel safe talking about difficult issues regarding drugs, drug abuse, sex, alcohol, or any other aspect of health or health-related decisions. Please note that we are Pharmacy students, and no one should ever alter their medications without first contacting their doctor. Our mission is to inform - we are not supporting any illegal activities, including but not limited to: marijuana use, underage drinking, use of illegal drugs, or sharing of prescription medications. That being said, we believe our purpose is to make sure all students are as informed as possible about all these topics, illegal or not, and ensure everyone has access to anonymous questions with unbiased answers*

Getting started...

So as we are preparing to give our drug abuse convocation, we are both excited to try a new way to talk to students about their drug related questions. Whether it's prescription drugs, illegal drugs, alcohol, or over-the-counters, we would like to encourage you to anonymously ask anything on this blog and we will do our best to find thorough answers.

Here's an example-

--

Brooklyn and Rebecca-

I am currently taking Xanax for anxiety...can drinking alcohol affect that? Also, one of my friends got some morphine pills from his uncle and wants to know if I want some. What can that do to me? Is it bad to take them and drink alcohol too?

One more thing...I think one of my friends is using his sister's Ritalin to stay awake and do homework. Should I say something? I don't really want to, so is there someone my friend can talk to to get help?

Thanks

This is a place for non-judgemental answers to your drug questions. Please feel free to ask anything you wish. We are not your mothers, we only hope to raise awareness and educate about the dangers of drugs when they are not used in the appropriate ways.
