it is calling on the uk government to do this across britain or give holyrood the power to do this. the announcement was made at the global commission on drug policy in edinburgh. the ministerfor drugs policy, elena whitman, said she wanted drugs laws to be brought into the 21st century. she argued the move would allow those found in possession of drugs to be treated and supported rather than criminalised. there's been no response so far from the uk government. since 2021, it was the norm for a person in possession of class a drugs to be issued with a police warning in most cases. this is now taking it one step forward. we will speak to our correspondent in glasgow or edinburgh later here on

but it wasn't like max potential because my sleep wasn't quite there. i'd say i was getting, like, four hours of quality sleep. yeah, you're getting stronger, you might be getting bigger, but as soon as you stop taking them, it all falls off. the royal pharmaceutical society warns against using sarms, and says urgent action needs to be taken by regulators to control the market. what we would like to see is the laws around them tightened. we would like to see better control over them and an acknowledgement that they are not being used for research purposes when they're being purchased. the food standards agency and food standards scotland, in response to our investigation, said sarms and similar drugs are not authorised for sale in the uk and should not be taken. they also said consumers should report businesses selling these substances to them or their local authority. we asked the shops we visited for a response. not all came back to us, but those that did expressed confusion about the regulations. 0ne told us they have now stopped selling all sarms and are seeking guidance from the food standards agency.

consumed by accident. since 2005 both prepared and fresh mushrooms which contain the compound have been considered a class a drug. and the psychedelics inside magic mushrooms are also listed as a schedule i drug. now schedule i drugs are those with a high likelihood of harm or misuse but no medicinal value. they can't be legally possessed or supplied by medical staff. to carry out academic research on these substances scientists have to get a controlled drug license from the home office and prove they can meet additional requirements on storage and security, an expensive process that can take months. there are other class a drugs, which don't have these same hurdles for researchers — heroin for example has i know university who have been approached to do the research and have refused on the basis they can't comply with the restrictions that the home office impose on the schedule one, that boils down to the pharmacies, they have to have very onerous security restrictions, such as 2a onerous security restrictions, such as 24 cctv

onerous security restrictions, such as 2a cctv monitoring of safes and that sort of things and that incurs a cost in order to implement that and hospitals in universitiesjust aren't in a position to do that, so it puts them off from doing the research and that means the research happens slower. there are other class a drugs, which don't have these same hurdles for researchers — heroin for example has painkiller properties and is in the next category down, schedule two. so are cocaine, ketamine and amphetamines. critics argue some of these have a greater potential for abuse than schedule i magic mushrooms. but what we have now, that we didn't when these psychedelics were first classified, is some evidence psilocybin could play a role in treating mental health conditions. take this very small study from johns hopkins university in the us for example which gave patients psilocybin alongside psychotherapy. you can see a week later they found a significant reduction in the average clinical depression score, and these results were generally sustained over a year. a study like this on fewer than 30 people can't be conclusive — but similar work has encouraged some about the future potential for such therapies.
