30 Illegal Drugs

Existing legislation in most foreign countries, including Germany, regarding the use or possession of marijuana, cocaine, and other illegal drugs imposes very severe penalties. Neither the U.S. Embassy nor the AYF Program Center is able to exercise effective pressure to moderate these penalties. Association with illegal drug users or possessors is considered the same as personal use or possession by authorities in some countries. Students are responsible for obeying all laws dealing with the use or possession of illegal drugs, and liability rests entirely with each student. The program reserves the power to require a student to withdraw without refund if there is any evidence of drug use by that student.
