Abstract	Results of a survey of student perceptions of drugs and drug use that was conducted at Bowie State College are presented. Studies that have been conducted on college students' use of alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine in the last five years are reviewed, along with additional studies relating to the general population and the following drugs: marijuana, "crack," cocaine, and heroin. The survey population consisted of three sections of students enrolled in the Orientation to College class in the fall 1986 semester. The 57 respondents consisted of 35 females and 22 males, and of the total 25 were 18 years old or younger, and 32 were 19 years old or older. Specific research concerns included: students' perceptions of the extent of drug usage by their friends, their perceptions of the least and most harmful drugs, their perceptions of drug usage on the campus, and their knowledge of the signs or symptoms of drug abuse and appropriate services for drug abusers. The survey findings indicate that the majority of students in the sample agreed on the least and most harmful drugs: marijuana and "crack"/cocaine, respectively. About 90% of the students stated that their friends had experimented with drugs. The 10 survey questions are included. (SW)
