which allowed to identify the consumption of amphetamines and other substances
and factors related.
Results: The average age was 20,46 years old, middle class. The most numerous
samples were of the Medicine faculty (17.5 %) and Laws (16.8 %). 32,8 % informed
consuming drugs like, marijuana (68,9 %), popper (26,9 %) and ecstasy (22,6 %). 14,6
% consumed amphetamines to improve academic performance, other substances
are marijuana and cocaine which are associated with the period of university exams.
These amphetamine consumption was faculty (42,3% Medicine, 16,7% economy) and
semester (9° semester 44%, 5° semester 24,1%) dependent. 71% of the amphetamines
