What are the UK drug laws?

123RF The laws controlling drug use are complicated but there are three main statutes regulating the availability of drugs in the UK: The Misuse of Drugs Act (1971), The Medicines Act (1968) and The Psychoactive Substances Act (2016) The Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 Prevention This act is intended to prevent the non-medical use of certain drugs.

History of Jamaica

Alamy Caribbean Island The Caribbean Island of Jamaica was initially inhabited in approximately 600 AD or 650 AD by the Redware people, often associated with redware pottery. By roughly 800 AD, a second wave of inhabitancy occurred by the Arawak tribes, including the Tainos, prior to the arrival of Colombus in 1494. Early inhabitants of Jamaica named the land “Xaymaca”, meaning “land of wood and water”. The Spanish enslaved the Arawak, who were ravaged further by diseases that the Spanish brought with them.
