I didn't feel like too many of the jock characters did drugs.

Thinking back to my high school, we had every one of these characters in our school.

The stoners
The Jocks
The Bullies
The Jock that tried to keep peace with everyone
The Sluts
The bitchy cheerleaders

The jocks really didn't do drugs for the most part

Our football team actually had to sign commitment letters to say we wouldn't drink.

We too had big field parties with kegs of beer.

The only difference during my time in high school was the police were relentless in busting our parties and screwing with us in general

The jocks in the movie mostly just drank.

I think the level of pot smoking was exaggerated. One of the less convincing things shown in the great movie.

Uh.. well at my (Canadian) high school, EVERYONE (I mean everyone, from the most studious to the best athlete) drank and smoked weed. For example I was on the hockey team, and if our coach or any coach said to the team "you can't play if you party" then literally everyone would just quit the team. Although be aware I went to high school in the 90s. It was a lot different. From movies it looks like the "most popular" guys in high school used to be the jocks, the guys on the football team, basketball team or whatever. When I went to school, the drug dealers were BY FAR the most popular kids.

The classes/cliques were not very rigidly stratified like so many movies portray. Oh, there were the AV super nerd types and the super jock types, but they were relatively few in number. Most of the jocks were potheads and mostly got along with the stoners. Same thing with the band types and cheeleaders: Lots of them were party-ers too.

No hazing, not organized like in Dazed, but random bullying and fights.

I think only two football players were shown smoking weed: Pink and his friend with the green shirt.

DISPLAY thy breasts, my Julia!

I seem to remember seeing Shavonne (Don's girlfriend) smoking weed at the football field.
