Abstract
Two hundred and seventy-four young people from a variety of back grounds throughout Lincolnshire took part in 35 focus groups to discuss the availability of illicit drugs in the area and attitudes towards their use. They reported that many drugs were freely available and accessible throughout the county, especially cannabis, LSD, ecstasy and am phetamines. For many young people, use of drugs especially cannabis was regarded as the norm among their peers, and was mostly considered less harmful than alcohol or tobacco. Risks of drug use were acknowledged but considered acceptable by many young people. The development of drug prevention strategies should pay heed to these views.
