No. Freaking. Way.

DJK doesn't have much company.

Men’s lacrosse players led the way in drug use by a wide margin among specific teams.

The survey found 48.5 percent of lacrosse players used marijuana, ahead of soccer players at 29.4 percent and wrestlers at 27.7 percent. Football players were sixth, at 26.7 percent, and men’s basketball players were ninth at 22 percent.

Meanwhile, 9.7 percent of lacrosse players said they used cocaine compared to 3.8 percent of ice hockey players and 3.7 percent of wrestlers. Football players were sixth, at 2.3 percent, and men’s basketball players 10th at 1.2 percent.

Lacrosse players reported the most narcotics use, with 10.8 percent claiming they used them in the previous year, ahead of wrestlers at 6 percent and football players at 4 percent. Men’s basketball players were 10th at 1.6 percent.

Alcohol use by lacrosse players (95.0 percent) was topped by ice hockey players (95.5 percent), with golfers third at 90.9 percent. Football players were ninth at 82.9 percent and men’s basketball players 10th at 74.5 percent.

I would like to see pot use by sport compared to whiteness of each sport. Lacrosse looks like baseball in the 1940s, and college soccer isn't exactly known for its diversity.

The Iowa Lacrosse team prior to my freshman class were big pot heads. My class and the class after me just abused the crap out of our livers, but I have been told that they have gone back to the pot in recent years.

And none of the findings above shock me at all.
