Gainesville
A college town for fun and frolic
Gainesville is a college town and home to the University of
Florida. University of Florida is among the largest universities
in the country with over 40,000 students and a campus that occupies
2000 acres with 875 buildings. As a result this relatively small
town is very youthful and spirited. This small college town
has given birth to many scientists, mathematicians, engineers
and doctors
Northwest of Gainesville, the park features numerous springs
from which an enormous volume of cool, clear water flows on
which one may enjoy tubing, canoeing, and swimming. Though it
is not the favorite spot for tourists, but yes a favored place
for scholars.
Drug Situation
The NHSDA, directed by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA), provides annual estimates
of the prevalence of illicit drug, alcohol and tobacco use in
the United States and monitors trends over time. It is based
on a representative sample of the U.S. population age 12 and
older.
It states that among youths aged 12 to 17, 9.7 percent reported
current illicit drug use in 2000, meaning they used an illicit
drug at least once during the 30 days prior to the time of the
survey interview. This report showcases the havoc facing by
the nation and especially the state Florida.
Gainesville is a university area, which welcomes influx of
scholars from every nook and corner. This convincing point of
the city offers an advantage of extensive practice of the illicit
drugs among the students. This situation has let this ailment
spread into the whole atmosphere of the city.
Drug Effects
The students who use these drugs never get a point that this
is a way to hell. Only getting “high” can not solve any problem
of life. One should remember that once administered may become
an addiction for lifetime. This addiction is itself an illness,
as it hampers every part of the body. It especially damages
a student’s learning capacity and ultimately forces to lose
the motivation for studies. Its physical and psychological effects
can be very dangerous.
