I know you have edited to say your a Brit, but even our laws do t criminalise drug taking. The only Crime is possession or supply. Unless you have it in your possession at the time of arrest the law doesn’t view it as a crime.

The only exception is drug driving but again the actual taking of the drugs isn’t the criminal offence. It’s the choosing to drive after having done so whilst still under the Influence
