Drugs
Drugs and the Law Using illegal drugs is against the law and puts you at risk of prosecution. Possessing drugs means you are found with enough drugs for your personal use. Supplying means you have more than you would need for personal use, you are found selling drugs, or giving them away.
Drugs are classified in different ways: Class A Drugs - Heroin, Ecstasy, Cocaine/Crack, LSD, Magic Mushrooms and Amphetamine (when it is prepared for injection) Class B Drugs - Amphetamine (speed) Class C Drugs - Cannabis, Anabolic Steroids, Rohypnol, GHB, Temazepam (if in possession without a prescription) Being prosecuted for possessing or supplying Class A drugs carries the toughest sentences. Remember all drugs can affect people in different ways. A criminal record can affect your future education, career and travel options. Drugs and Others - Being close to someone with a drugs related problem is difficult and it is not always clear what to do for the best. If you need some help dealing with the situation or if you feel that you are in any danger, talk to someone you trust. This might be a friend, teacher, drugs worker or Connexions Personal Adviser.
