This map displays top universities with the highest number of students who use marijuana.
It's no secret that students at the University of Manchester have a strong affinity for the infamous 'devil's lettuce'. While many students attend university with the intention of expanding their minds through academic pursuits, it seems that for some, this expansion also applies to their recreational activities.

According to a recent study by a leading student newspaper, nearly 7,000 students from the prestigious 'Russell Group' universities in the UK participated in a survey about drug and vaping habits. The results were used to create a 'league table' ranking universities based on the number of self-proclaimed 'stoners' in attendance.

Unsurprisingly, the University of Manchester took the top spot, with a staggering 90% of students admitting to trying the class B drug. This put them ahead of other notable institutions such as Sheffield, Newcastle, and Birmingham.

However, not all universities were so heavily represented on the 'stoner ranking' list. Cambridge University, known for its rigorous academic standards, was found to have the lowest percentage of students who admitted to drug use. They were followed closely by the University of York.

Overall, the survey revealed that 76% of students admitted to trying drugs during their time at university, with nearly 1 in 5 students admitting to being addicted. This is a significant increase from a similar survey conducted 11 years ago, which found the University of Leeds to have the highest proportion of students who admitted to trying illicit substances.

In terms of the most popular substances, cannabis took the top spot, with 68% of respondents admitting to trying it. This was followed by MDMA, laughing gas, and cocaine.
