In 2000-2005, a survey on the consumption of legal and illegal drugs of abuse was conducted in 1571 students of Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové, Charles University in Prague. The availability of cannabis and the prevalence rates of its use in university students were investigated. A standardized anonymous questionnaire was employed for the survey. The average age of respondents was 20 years. The number of females was higher (82.8 %) than that of males. Marijuana was the most available and the most commonly used illegal drug of abuse in the group of pharmacy students. Its offer and the life-time prevalence increased over the 5 year period of the survey from 55.8 % to 72.9 % and from 30.3 % to 48.4 %, respectively. There was a predominance of the male users over the female ones, mainly in a category of high frequency of marijuana consumption ("used more than five times"). Almost three quarters of marijuana consumers admitted more than one experience with marijuana. Our data provide worrying statistics and support the need of continuous education also in university students to advise them on the risks of drug misuse.
2000年至2005年期间，对布拉格查理大学赫拉德茨克拉洛韦药学院的1571名学生进行了一项关于合法和非法滥用药物消费情况的调查。对大麻的可得性及其在大学生中的使用率进行了调查。调查采用标准化匿名问卷。受访者的平均年龄为20岁。女性人数（82.8%）高于男性。大麻是药学院学生群体中最容易获得且最常被滥用的非法药物。在调查的5年期间，其可得性和终生使用率分别从55.8%增至72.9%，从30.3%增至48.4%。男性使用者多于女性使用者，主要集中在大麻高消费类别（“使用超过五次”）。近四分之三大麻消费者承认有不止一次使用大麻的经历。我们的数据提供了令人担忧的统计信息，并支持对大学生持续开展教育，以告知他们药物滥用的风险。
