NUS Gives Students Going Abroad Legit AF Reasons To Say No To Drugs
Pablo Escobar would’ve had a good laugh.
For those who have attended pre-departure briefings conducted by NUS, you might have come across this very elaborate and highly convincing set of slides by the Department of Psychological Medicine letting you know the dangers of drug use on your overseas endeavours. Trust us, this is one lecture you won’t want to miss. If your blessed soul has yet to witness this mind-blowing presentation, here’s a quick preview brought to you by The Bullet.
Editor’s note: We apologise in advance for only managing to procure images whose resolution were of equal calibre as the presentation itself.
Title Slide
So far so good - all seems legit as we’re off to a strong start.
REASON 2: YOU WILL GAIN WEIGHT. YOU CANNOT HIDE EVEN THOUGH YOUR URINE IS CLEAN.
Woah there, you now get a free pass to blame your poor appetite control AND lack of exercise on drugs!
REASON 5: YOU WILL HAVE A BAD TRIP
Wait, are hallucinations supposed to dissuade us from LSD?
This presentation is starting to feel like a bad trip.
REASON 8: YOU WILL BLOW UP YOUR NOSE
Ew. On the bright side, you now get a bigger nostril for snorting. Everybody wins!
REASON 10: YOU WILL LIE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY
Scientifically proven - taking amphetamine directly leads to lying in the middle of the highway.
REASON 11: YOU NEED TO WEAR DIAPERS
Guess my grandpa’s taking Special K as well.
REASON 12: YOU WILL COLLAPSE IN THE SUPERMARKET
"Clean up on aisle 4, guys. We’ve got our 6th junkie this week."
REASON 13: YOU WILL GET SERIOUS DISEASES.
That’s good, diseases should take themselves more seriously.
CONCLUSION
The potent mix of having a cartoon police man looking sternly upon us all surrounded by huge capital letters with an exclamation mark – we’re most definitely saying no to drugs at this point… as well as to breathing.

Haphazardly thrown in google images and poorly backed up claims - you’d figure that as the #1 ranked university in Asia, NUS would’ve done a better job in deterring drug use among its undergraduate students. Or at least in slide-making. We’re pretty sure that if this were an actual report meant for submission, an unforgiving U grade would’ve been in order.
In all seriousness though, we appreciate the school for its effort (however minimal said effort might be). We would also like to make it clear that we are not against anti-drug messages, just bad arguments.

The Bullet wishes all fellow students heading abroad a good trip (half-heartedly intended). Know of any other ridiculous stories in NUS? Drop us an email at thebulletcampus@gmail.com!
