Woman and DrugsDrugs, like alcohol and smoking, connotes more to men bad habit. Particularly in Indonesia, the term ”bad man” stands for a person who has at least these following bad habits: drinking alcohol (including drugs and to a “lesser extend” smoking), gambling, womaniser, etc.

But a survey reveals that such bad habit as taking drugs is no longer dominated by men.

A survey by the Edinburgh-based drugs agency Crew 2000 found that a quarter of women questioned said they had taken amphetamine or ecstasy, while almost half had used cannabis and more than one in five had tried cocaine.

The survey, reported in the Scotsman newspaper, also said

10% had taken ketamine - an anaesthetic used by vets - 18% had tried hallucinogenic mushrooms and more than 55% had smoked.

The figures for men were lower, with about 15% admitting to taking amphetamines, ecstasy, cocaine or magic mushrooms.

What does this survey mean? It could mean anything depends on the eye of the beholder.
