Drugs
There is legislation that controls the use of drugs in the
UK.
Generally the only drugs you are allowed to posess are the ones
that you are given by your doctor, or ones that you are able to buy
from a chemist.
Alcohol, tobacco, and solvents (gas, glues and aerosols) are
also classed as drugs in the UK, and these are controlled by
separate laws which control the sale of these substances to people
over certain ages.
The ages for the purchase of these substances are:
- Alcohol 18 years of age
- Tobacco 18 years of age
- Solvents 18 years of age
Cannabis is illegal in the UK.
