GRONINGEN: DRUG PARADISE FOR STUDENTS?
GRONINGEN: DRUG PARADISE FOR STUDENTS?
International students in Groningen use even more drugs than Dutch students. Italian Hanze student Marco Siciliano was curious how students get their drugs. Is it really that simple? He decided to talk to a professor of the University of Groningen about the drug culture of Groningen and get some facts. But he also wanted to experience first hand how you can score drugs on the street, so he took a hidden camera and headed to the party district of Groningen. Did he manage to score or is it not that easy?
