Ecstasy (E) – Class APenalties: Possession: 7 years and a fine Effects: Pure ecstasy is a white crystalline powder known to chemists as MDMA. Ecstasy sold on the street is usually in tablet form. Es come in all sorts of colours and some of them have pictures or logos stamped into them. They are usually swallowed, although some people do snort them. Ecstasy dilates the pupils, produces a tingling feeling, tightens the jaw muscles, raises the body temperature and makes the heart beat faster. Short-term effects can include anxiety, panic attacks, confused episodes, first time epileptic fits and paranoia. Current evidence suggests that long term use can cause depression, personality change and memory loss. |

People have also been known to harm themselves and others during a bad trip. |

Cannabis – Class CPenalties: Possession: 2 years and a fine Effects: Cannabis is the most widely used illegal drug in Britain. It is a naturally occurring drug made from parts of the cannabis plant. It is a mild hallucinogen and often gives sedative like effects that make some people feel relaxed and others feel sick. It is widely available and comes in many different forms. Much like a cigarette, the effects are immediate and last from about an hour to a few hours. Even hardcore smokers can get anxious and panicky and cannabis has a negative impact on the short-term memory. Eating or drinking the drug delays the effects and can make them stronger and longer lasting. Cannabis can cause a disease called cannabis psychosis, likened to a mild form of schizophrenia.
