Drugs and the Law

If you are convicted of a drug related offence you may lose your job, be banned from driving and stopped from travelling to certain countries. It can also limit the types of jobs that you can apply for.

Giving drugs to your friends, as well as selling drugs, is classed as supplying. If someone is using drugs at your property you can be arrested and prosecuted.
