bag of mini powdered sugar donuts stat please
I text my friend "i have snow and weed baby we party 2 a lil" just about every day.
As a general question why are people so ok with drinking and not smoking? Just because of legal reasons?
@wheelin2vetmed and @WhtsThFrequency you're awesome!
You guys make me feel like a fecking degenerate. 😡
I'm not going to start talking about my background here. WAY too much judgment from pretentious young kids here who think they have life all figured out because they've made it as far as vet school.

Buncha goody goodies, like I said.
Eh, if we are gonna argue about something, we could probably do better than this.
I'm not sure about any drug use in my class, but there is a small group of students that gets embarrassingly drunk regularly. Most of us probably drink a glass of wine several times a week, but yeah there are a select few that cannot cut themselves off when drinking on the weekends, and they get to a point where others are uncomfortable or they do some really stupid things.I haven't ventured in to the pre-med/med student area of SDN yet, so I'm not sure if this a vet field vs med field thing or an SDN vs real life thing, but I find the opinions here to be pretty interesting. I'm dating a med student, and at this point most of my regular free time has been spent around med students, and even in conservative Texas they're very open to the idea of recreational marijuana usage. I'm straight edge for personal reasons, and my girlfriend is an occasional glass of wine sort of person, but probably a quarter of the class smoked occasionally during the first two years, and recreational coke and prescription drug use wasn't uncommon (though not nearly as prolific as marijuana usage) either when they were unwinding. Binge drinking was very common. They started getting tested in their third year, so it's all stopped as far as I'm aware, but difference in attitudes is pretty stark.
Can anyone in vet school chime in on whether or not vet students party like med students?

I didn't mean to sound like I was talking about the testing itself. I was more referring to the tone of the replies from other posters to the question, and my take on that. 🙂We had periodic binge drinkers (usually of the "I can go out and party ONCE in the next three months, better make it worth it!" variety), and probably had some pot smokers though nobody was overt about it. Really, the only one that I judged was the chick who popped Ritalin to study.
In regards to reactions to this question that @BeautifulBritishColumbia mentioned... I don't know if that has much to do with it. Marijauana use is pretty damn common and socially accepted (if illegal) in Nova Scotia, but at no point in my school/university/vet school career has random drug testing been a thing. Unless someone said something to the faculty/honour committee or you were showing up to class obviously smelling of it or impaired, I don't think they'd randomly test you.
I feel like this posted question is completely valid and actually quite a good one. If someone was from an area where weed is viewed more as an illegal narcotic, I could see the question being quite horrifying.
