Not sure what it's like today - I use to go and visit my grandparents there when I was in my teens - it was ok then, but I'm going back quite a few years.

Quite a lot of young teens people into drugs these days so I guess there is a strong possibility.
As a resident of the IoW, there is no drug "Problem".
Of course there are drugs being used, but it's not on the scale of a mainland city or big town.
As a resident on the Isle of Wight can confirm that Ryde has a very low drug problem, as most places there are users down here, but nothing like most mainland cities or large towns. We also have a very low crime rate compared with the rest of the UK
