It is against the law to possess, supply, produce, or enable the production of drugs. It is also illegal to perform certain actions under the influence of drugs, such as driving, and use of drugs may become a factor in the sentencing of criminal behaviour. However, it is not illegal to take them.

This is not a UK/US issue. You could walk into any police station in the UK and confess to having taken drugs and they will tell you to go away.
