Information and drugs and their penalties
Use of illegal drugs causes serious problems in our communities.
Drug addiction can cause young people to drop out of school, and it can make parents lose interest in their children. It pushes people into lives of crime and poverty, destroys ambition and ruins lives.
Drug dealing brings crime and violence to otherwise peaceful communities, and makes people feel helpless and afraid in their own home towns.
We're working hard to limit the damage drugs do.
For your information here is a guide about the different types of drugs and their penalties for possessing or dealing these drugs:
Class A drugs: Ecstasy, LSD, heroin, cocaine, crack, magic mushrooms, amphetamines (if prepared for injection).
