Having witnessed someone try to do this
(Believe it or not he is now a very famous
and respected author) with nasal burning
results, that we would not recommend you
try to emulate, at Clubdates were pretty
sure that Sniffing Persil won't get you
banged up with a load of other inmates obsessed
with keeping clean both inside and out,
but it is essential that you know the law.
The law puts illegal drugs into one of
three categories - A, B and C - according
to the harm they can do to you. Class A
is the most harmful.
Dealing in drugs and possession with intent
to supply is a more serious offence in the
eyes of the law than possession for personal
use.
CLASS A DRUGS
These include cocaine, crack, ecstasy,
heroin, LSD and magic mushrooms (when they
are prepared). They are the most harmful
drugs and carry the heaviest penalties.
It is illegal to have, give away or deal
in Class A drugs. MAXIMUM PENALTIES
Possession: 7 years in jail plus an unlimited
fine
Supplying/Dealing: Life imprisonment plus
an unlimited fine
Possession with intent to supply: Life imprisonment
plus an unlimited fine.
CLASS B DRUGS
These include speed (amphetamines). Any
Class B drug prepared for injection will
be treated as Class A. It is illegal to
have, give away or deal in Class B drugs.
MAXIMUM PENALTIES
Possession: 5 years in jail plus an unlimited
fine
Supplying/Dealing: 14 years in jail plus
an unlimited fine
Possession with intent to supply: 14 years
in jail plus an unlimited fine.
CLASS C DRUGS
These include cannabis, GHB, anabolic steroids
and tranquillisers such as valium. It is
illegal to have, give away or deal in Class
C drugs, and to grow cannabis plants. MAXIMUM
PENALTIES
Possession: 2 years in jail plus an unlimited
fine
Supplying/Dealing: 14 years in jail plus
an unlimited fine
Possession with intent to supply: 14 years
in jail plus an unlimited fine.
What happens if you commit a drugs
offence?
A lot depends on your circumstances - your
age, whether it's your first offence, and
whether you have been supplying your friends.
If you are under 18...
You will be arrested, have your drugs confiscated
and taken to the police station for a formal
warning. Your parent or guardian will be
asked to attend. If it is not your first
offence, or a more serious offence like
supplying or dealing, you are more likely
to be charged.
If you are 18 or over..
If it is a less serious offence, you may
not be arrested. You may simply have your
drugs confiscated and receive a warning.
If it is not your first offence, or a more
serious offence like supplying or dealing,
you are more likely to be charged.
Guilty as charged?
If you are found guilty of possession for
personal use, you may be fined or given
a community sentence. For more serious offences
such as dealing or supplying, you could
be sent to prison or a young offenders institution.
