Agree. Reed College isn't on this list. It has a very well known reputation for an active and open drug experimenting community.

I mean read this article

It's from 2008, but little has changed. In fact, there was another heroin overdose last year or the year before. Also, the survey uses information from 2009 so not too far off.


One specific quote to point out.

In a 2007 survey, 25 percent of Reed students said they’d used an illegal drug other than marijuana in the past 30 days
