It’s pretty easy to get: 2 miles away right over the state border.
I guess it depends if you’re in a dope degree program.
Students who have never used marijuana are becoming increasingly rare at the University of Idaho, as are those who have never felt overwhelmingly depressed, lonely or hopeless, according to new data from the fall 2017 National College Health Assessment.
Findings were presented at a regular meeting of the Campus Community Coalition on Wednesday afternoon in the Bruce Pitman Center.
Based on a 28.1 percent response rate, fewer UI students are saying “never” to marijuana than the national average, though the UI remains virtually consistent with national daily user rates, which sat at about 3 percent in 2017.
The rate of UI students who used marijuana in the past 30 days was just under 30 percent in 2017, nearly 10 points higher than the national average, while students who said they never used marijuana decreased from 65.5 percent in 2013 to 52.8 percent in 2017.
Sharon Fritz, a psychologist at the UI’s Counseling and Testing Center, said many students who use marijuana are highly educated about the substance, and facilitators are sometimes unprepared to offer other information. In addition, several coalition
members observed, the perception of harm surrounding marijuana has decreased during the past few years.With a legal avenue to marijuana just 2 miles away in Washington, Dean of Students Blaine Eckles said the neighboring state has become the biggest challenge in educating Idaho students about marijuana use.
