How do I recognise drugs?

There is no certain way to identify illegal substances except by analysis. However signs to look out for include:

  • Small plastic or elaborately folded wraps
  • Burnt foil and spoons, syringes and small bottles
  • Herbal substance or a solid, crumbly brown resin
  • Shredded cigarettes
  • Unusual pills, powders or liquids in small quantities
  • Strong sweet smoky smell
