That is the main conclusion to be drawn from an EM survey on drug use during the pandemic taken by 373 EUR students. Alcohol consumption has decreased somewhat since pre-pandemic times, but has switched locations, from clubs and pubs to student bedsits. An expert points out that taking drugs at home as a habit is risky and expresses some apprehension of the moment when all the restrictions are relaxed.

Being high for a little while every once in a while helps me get centred again and really relax,\u201d wrote one of them.

That doesn\u2019t constitute much of a decline, particularly when compared with the results of a similar survey of students attending Nijmegen Radboud University, whose alcohol consumption decreased by 50 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, nearly a quarter of all respondents indicated that they actually drank more during the lockdown. Men (teetotallers not included) present a diverse picture: one third drank more, another third drank less, and yet another third did not change anything about their alcohol consumption. Women were more likely to reduce their alcohol intake: 45 per cent said they drank less than before the pandemic, whereas 29 per cent drank more.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, male EUR students, in particular, have been prone to treating themselves to some beers at home. Professor of Clinical Psychology and addiction expert Ingmar Franken is concerned about that. \u201cDrinking at home is an indication that someone will turn into a problem drinker later. Back in the day, people drank when they went out clubbing, to make a positive experience even better. Now people are drinking at home, mainly to alleviate their negative feelings. Those people run a greater risk of turning into problem drinkers.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Students love smoking weed at home<\/h2><p>Aside from alcohol, cannabis proved to be by far the most popular drug with the respondents. Almost 60 per cent of respondents indicated that they sometimes used it. Many respondents said that they started smoking cannabis during the pandemic. One notable aspect was that nearly half of them indicated that they smoked every week.<\/p>\n<p>The No. 2 drug, XTC (occasionally taken by 32 per cent), and No. 3, magic mushrooms\/truffles (24 per cent), are not used nearly as often. The latter is only used more often than once a month by a very small number of students. Nitrous oxide is less popular now than it used to be; its use has nearly halved since EM held its previous survey on drug use in 2017. Cocaine and Ritalin are taken by fewer students than nitrous oxide, XTC and magic mushrooms, but those students who do take them tend to do so more regularly.<\/p>\n<iframe class=\"localfocusvisual\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width:100%;height:500px;overflow:hidden\" src=\"https:\/\/localfocuswidgets.net\/60ae3e9f3475b\"><\/iframe><p>Some respondents explained how taking drugs at home can actually be a fun activity. \u201cMy flatmates and I have tried a lot of things because everyone was at home anyway and keen to do something.\u201d Boredom, too, will result in experimentation. \u201cI tried cocaine for the first time ever. I probably wouldn\u2019t have done it without the pandemic, but hey, I\u2019m at home all the time, anyway,\u201d a medical student wrote. An ESHCC student told us the following: \u201cAfter trying speed and seeing that the effects weren\u2019t too bad, I was more open to the idea of trying ketamine and LSD. For the sake of experimenting, but also because I was bored and had a lot of time on my hands. If there are hardly any social events you can attend, or if you have no hobbies or activities, you\u2019ll have more time to do drugs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/quote\" class=\"align\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"\">\n\t\t\t<figure data-component=\"quote-with-author\" class=\"@container\">\n\t<blockquote class=\"text-md italic @2xl:text-xl @4xl:text-2xl text-purple\">\n\t\t\u2018I tried cocaine for the first time ever.

The survey confirmed the clich\u00e9 that \u2018future bankers\u2019 are fond of snorting the odd line. Students attending the Rotterdam School of Management and the Erasmus School of Economics, and even the Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication, were most likely to say that they take drugs. Medical students are a little more likely to watch their health. Faculty of Medicine students had the lowest drug use figures, by a considerable margin.<\/p>\n<iframe class=\"localfocusvisual\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width:100%;height:500px;overflow:hidden\" src=\"https:\/\/localfocuswidgets.net\/60ae3b1705d24\"><\/iframe><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lung cancer<\/h2><p>Regularly using hashish and weed at home \u2018will never be entirely devoid of risk,\u2019 says Franken. \u201cAlcohol is more addictive than weed, but it\u2019s hard to kick any habit. And there is a correlation between weed and lung cancer, although the relation isn\u2019t as clear as it is with tobacco.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It seems pretty obvious why XTC, nitrous oxide and other party drugs have been used less often lately \u2013 people can\u2019t go clubbing. \u201cXTC is a club drug par excellence,\u201d says Franken. \u201cThat\u2019s what people associate it with \u2013 the sense of connectedness with other people who have also taken it, and having a really great time.\u201d Nitrous oxide, too, has become less popular. For one reason, there haven\u2019t been many parties lately where balloons were passed around, but there\u2019s a little more to it than that. \u201cFour years ago we all thought there were hardly any risks associated with nitrous oxide. We now know that frequent use may cause people to be paralysed. You can end up in a wheelchair.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Being a more successful student<\/h2><p>Another reason why some respondents take drugs is to be more successful in their studies. Some 11 per cent of respondents told EM that they sometimes take Ritalin. It is known that many people use Ritalin \u2013 which is technically a stimulant drug used to treat ADHD \u2013 to be more focused on their work. Although Franken is realistic about the (fairly minimal) risks, he does recommend that students do not take the drug. \u201cOf course ADHD patients have shown us that Ritalin users are not going to collapse and die in droves, but Ritalin may cause cardiovascular issues. And if you\u2019re susceptible to those in the first place, this may just push you over the edge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One ESSB student wrote that he \u2018micro-doses\u2019 magic truffles to be better able to focus. Franken confirms that that is the effect truffles have on people. \u201cPeople who take truffles mainly wish to \u2018take a holiday inside their own head\u2019. Micro-dosing psychedelics does have an effect: your body will produce serotonin. This will improve your mood, but your focus will not improve. Because you\u2019re in a better mood, though, you may be able to let go of negative feelings, which then makes you better able to focus.\u201d Still, Franken says, any active ingredient you ingest without your doctor telling you to do so is a bad idea.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Deliveries after curfew<\/h2><p>The way in which students obtain their drugs has changed, too. Back in the day, when students went to clubs and attended parties, they would often have friends who\u2019d have some drugs on them. Now they have to get them themselves. Franken says this makes things just a little more challenging. \u201cNow you have to find a dealer yourself, meaning you are also making a more conscious decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, an RSM student told us this wasn\u2019t all that challenging. \u201cIt\u2019s easy. There\u2019s a wide range of drugs out there and an immense number of dealers. I have noticed that dealers are extremely professional these days. [When we were locked down,] they made deliveries 24\/7, even after curfew. You can pay by card, and the quality [of the drugs] is usually quite all right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now that the restrictions are gradually being relaxed, what will students\u2019 drug consumption pattern be like? Franken \u2018does not have a crystal ball\u2019, but he is concerned. \u201cThe greatest concerns are drinking at home and making up for lost time.\u201d The latter is Frank\u2019s term for the \u2018rebound effect\u2019: once clubs reopen their doors, many students will want to feel like they did before the pandemic, including all the drugs. \u201cThey\u2019ll want all the alcohol and party drugs they\u2019ve had to go without.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for students who have taken up drinking at home, Franken fears that they may not be able to kick that habit. \u201cPeople who never used to drink while home alone may end up keeping on doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/featured-text\" class=\"md:mt-6 p-4 md:p-6 lg:p-8 bg-sand-300 theme-sand:bg-white theme-violet:bg-white theme-mocha:bg-white wysiwyg *:last:mb-0!\" >\n\t\t<p><strong>About this survey<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The survey was available from 11 to 20 May and was publicised on all of EM\u2019s channels. 373 students took the survey, of whom 54 per cent were male and 45 per cent female. The distribution of the respondents across the faculties was largely consistent with the size of the various faculties\u2019 student bodies. One notable exception was the Erasmus School of Law. Only 6 per cent of respondents said they attended ESL, even though the faculty houses 17 per cent of all EUR students. 131 of the 373 respondents completed the survey in English. Although there was no question in the survey that explicitly asked the respondents if they were Dutch or international students, we feel it is somewhat safe to assume that international students (who made up 19 per cent of EUR\u2019s student body in 2019) were overrepresented in this survey. For many of them, last year was the first time they could legally acquire soft drugs.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/posts-list\" >\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"space-y-6
