Question by steven200719: In college why do they do drugs, when they learned to say no in school?
I’m a 19 year old boy in college and I see people doing drugs sometimes. When I was in Middle and High School, I learned and was taught to say “No” to dugs and I do and I still do. So, why does college kids still do drugs. I mean, people have asked me if I want to try and I just said no, and I don’t want to die. And, like if any teachers saw like can they get in trouble for it and like go to jail?
One other question, like what is the main purpose of “high school”?? Is it like for the kids to get “high” , cause it is the name, is it not?

First they are given some type of opiate pain med before they start, then they are most likely given nitrous oxide, otherwise known as laughing gas. They are inhaling a mixture of that gas along with oxygen during their procedure. Then as they recover and come back to their senses, they are all loopy and behave in an entertaining manner.

This “whats in my mouth” video is by far one of the funniest of these videos I’ve seen.
