cannabis (n=1193). This was followed by heroin (n=1090), ecstasy (n=989) and
crack (n=872). First tried substances were cannabis (n=1219) and LSD (n=190).
Not knowing what it was trying are located on the third (n=22). Most of the
students have declared that they obtained the substances for first try from
someone they know, but not personal (n=154). That one of his friends (n=46),
buying from someone they did not know (n=11) and receiving older family members
