re: Rate the SEC schools in terms of raging

I've heard that combining coke with the dope is the best way to avoid it.

The extent of my knowledge on the subject comes from reading about Chris Farley's death and watching Pulp Fiction.

But I have never seen the drug culture as accepted and prevalent as it was in Tuscaloosa when compared to other college towns.

Interesting. I found it to be the same as most campuses and Bama's reputation to be very overblown.

I am not really talking about smoking as that happens everywhere on campus.

I knew people (not me, but people i met through friends) who would order thousands of xanex (literally 2000 pills an order) and get rid of them in a week. Coke again is everywhere on almost all college campuses. But one thing I never saw at another college was people selling OC at a day party or in a bar. And towards the end of my college career there were even some people running herion up from bham to tuscaloosa because the whole OC shite really got a firm hold in ttown for a while. I think the cops did a good job cracking down on the main people but it was bad for a few years.

As I said I had a few friends who got into some serious shite without really realizing what they were getting into. It is scary how quickly shite like that can take a hold.

Ya, I finished and moved back home in may of 09.

My HS here is Cleveland had about an 18 month stretch when 8 graduates died from ODs.

Note to self...become a drug dealer in Tuscaloosa.

The thing I've noticed about Alabama is how open so many of the students are about it. At Auburn, it's all kept behind closed doors for the most part and rarely discussed in anything resembling a public setting. It's here, but it's a lot more subtle.

That is what I was kind of getting at with the accepted thing at Alabama. Nobody is really surprised to open a door and see someone cutting out a bunch of lines of coke, or crushing up some xanex or OC or whatever. You get adjusted to it real quick during freshman year.


Not to mention the day parties where it seems like 75% of the attendees are tripping their balls off. But I feel like that happens a lot of places.

This is a huge generalization to say the least, but on the whole, Auburn and Alabama attract slightly different types of students. Or it has always seemed that way to me anyway. And the difference in the general culture is why you see a difference in the attitudes and openess about drugs between the two schools.

An anecdotal example: I've never had a random person I didn't know ask for or offer coke in Auburn. It's happened two of the last three times I've ventured over to Tuscaloosa.
