As a student in Amsterdam, this city offers you diverse and vibrant experiences. While discovering a new city and making new friends, it’s entirely possible that you may encounter or hear about alcohol and other drugs. Whether it's a beer, a joint, a pill, or a bump, as a student you're likely to encounter these substances or simply become curious about them.   

The use of alcohol and other drugs can have a significant impact on your health and well-being. What’s up with that? You might have burning questions of your own. For instance, what happens if you use substances when you're feeling low? Which drugs pose the highest risks? And what's the real extent of drug use among students?
