| 释义 | misuse of drugs misuse of drugs the criminal use of certain specified drugs. The Mis- use of Drugs Act 1972 is a complicated measure but essentially it makes it illegal to produce a controlled drug, to supply a controlled drug, to possess a controlled drug, or to possess with intent to sup- ply. It is an offence to cultivate any plant of the genus cannabis. The law extends to make it an offence if an occupier knowingly permits or suffers drug-related activities such as the supply or the smoking of cannabis. The police have extended powers under the Act and may search and detain a person if they have reasonable grounds to suspect a person is in possession of a controlled drug. The particular classification of the drug under the Act is important. It is an offence to use heroin whereas it is not an offence to use cannabis, although it is an offence to possess cannabis or to be ART AND PART in its posses- sion, as where one person holds the cannabis cigarette for another to smoke. |
