75 Students Busted for Selling Drugs in California

After a fatal overdose in 2007 on the campus of San Diego State University, police and the DEA launched an investigation into the drug activity on that campus. What they ended up discovering shocked them all. Dozens of students, some in graduate school, were dealing drugs. Then a second fatal overdose happened in February. The police arrest around 100 people, 75 of them were students, for dealing drugs and they may face charges for the two overdose deaths.One of the students arrested was a month shy of getting his Master’s in Homeland Security.

The DEA confiscated 4 pounds of cocaine, 50 pounds of marijuana, 350 ecstasy pills, 1 shotgun, 3 semi-automatic pistols and $60,000. The drugs are estimated to have a street value of $100,000. The agents made 130 drug purchases before the raid.

What I want to know is, are drugs this readily available at all colleges or are students like these unusual to find?
