Question
What would happen if you were caught by the police with a stash that includes Class A, B and C drugs? What are the consequences?
Answer
That sounds like a large amount of drugs to be caught with. Of course, the safest option is to avoid having drugs on you in the first place.
The UK drug laws focus on penalties for possession and dealing. Drugs are defined as either Class A, B, or C and each classification has a different penalty. Class A drugs have the most severe and Class C have the least severe of the three. These laws are enforced and each local area has a strategy for tackling drug related crime (including dealing and possession).
You might find it helpful to have a look at the website for the organisation Release. They specialise in drugs, the law and human rights. If you have a specific concern they have a legal helpline on 0845 4500 215 where you can get free and confidential advice.
