Drugs drive sex from focus among college students
Newark based survey by the Essex County Council on Drug Addiction reports drugs have become more prominent than sex among college students. Dr. Sylvia Herz says boredom with sex and high drug use contribute to sex taking a back seat. The six month study interviewed 150 students at three colleges in New Jersey and New York. Over 25 percent had used drugs including marijuana and amphetamines, about eight percent used LSD, and nearly all who tried drugs had also engaged in sexual activity. Students estimate around 50 percent of peers use marijuana and about 70 percent use amphetamines.
