Taking Drugs

Taking drugs is a gamble - everybody reacts differently, you can never be sure of how a drug may harm you.

All classified drugs are illegal. The Misuse of Drugs Act categorises drugs as A, B or C. People caught using, selling or giving away Class A or B drugs face severe penalties from a criminal record to life imprisonment.

Class A drugs are ecstasy, cocaine, heroin and LSD. Class B drugs are cannabis and speed.
