How To about drugs

Never become involved with drugs of any kind in Ghana.

Drugs are a growing problem in Ghana and the authorities are determined to tackle and control the problem.

Penalties for drugs related offences (including class C drugs) are severe, including a "no bail" restriction on anyone implicated in any drug related offences. Even possession of small amounts of marijuana can lead to a prison sentence in excess of 5 years, usually after a lengthy and expensive legal process.

Class A drugs such as cocaine are likely to be laced with other substances - the Britich High Commission has received reports of foreign visitors dying after taking these drugs. Source: http://www.fco.gov.uk/en
