The Misuse of Drugs Act

This is the main piece of legislation covering drugs and categorises drugs as class A, B and C. These drugs are termed as controlled substances, and Class A drugs are those considered to be the most harmful. Offences under the Act include:
  • Possession of a controlled substance unlawfully
  • Possession of a controlled substance with intent to supply it
  • Supplying or offering to supply a controlled drug (even where no charge is made for the drug)
  • Allowing premises you occupy or manage to be used unlawfully for the purpose of producing or supplying controlled drugs
