WHATSAPPThe University of Buckingham in the UK has made it mandatory for the students to sign a contract promising that they would not take any recreational drugs during the period of their studies. This is part of the University’s efforts to become the first drug-free campus in the UK. The University has taken this stand against drugs claiming that drugs consumption has no place in a university environment. The students will be asked to leave if they were found to have breached this contract, informed the university.
Research on the relationship between long-term drug use and its effect on mental health is still going on. The use of cannabis and hallucinogenic drugs is reported to cause psychotic dispositions and long-term mental problems. Some research has also revealed the positive effects of controlled drug use. But a group of experts has also questioned the criminalization of recreational drugs, saying that it will prevent students from taking medical help.
