According to a report by The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University 22.9 percent of college students might need drug rehab. At Arizona State that could be over 10,000 students – that’s a lot of drug rehab. Arizona State is ranked number 3 on the Playboy Party School list.

There is another interesting side to those numbers which is the drug dealers themselves - how many drug dealers would it take to supply 10,000 students for a month?
 
There is not only a danger to the user of drugs, but the drug dealer himself is often in danger from other drug dealers or people who know the dealer. At Arizona State a dealer named Jake was robbed at gunpoint of drugs and cash. “With a gun to his head and duct tape around his feet, mouth and eyes, Jake was told he’d be killed,” said a recent article. According to Jake, “They could have easily just popped it, walked out the door and gotten away with murder.”

Maybe that’s an unusual scene, or maybe not. But the dangers of drug dealing are probably not thought about by the customer.  Jake supplies drugs to some portion of the 10,000 students who take drugs regularly at Arizona State and made $10,000 in December alone.

There must be a lot of dealers hanging around the university marketing drugs to the students. For some it is just a party and for others it is far more serious – either way, there’s a good chance both will need an alcohol or drug rehab program.
