First of all I’m sorry if I don't seem altogether here, I’m not the brightest little cookie. I have a question for all the law buffs and budding lawyers out there concerning the consumption of Ecstacy on commercial premises.
Here's the scenario:
After last night I was chatting to a DJ and he mentioned as this place is so boring he wished he could find a hall to hire on Thursday / Friday nights so he could set up his equipment and get friends round to dance the night away. I mentioned that I own a shop and he was free to come round and play any day he wanted inviting all his friends. After getting home I realised that this may have legal ramifications concerning Drug and Alcohol consumption that inevitably goes with this kind of event.
Here are some facts for the Question:
The premises is not licensed for alcohol
I don't plan on selling any alcohol
I don't plan on selling or encouraging any drugs
I don't plan on letting in any under age people
These events will only take place after hours and will not be open to general public.
The shop also has a house attached to it (So I’m not sure if it would be classed as Residential / Light Commercial).
It is in a built up residential neighbourhood.
My questions follow:
Can people legally drink?
What happens if the cops come and shut the party down and find Ecstacy on someone (Do I get in trouble or them)?
What happens if someone OD's (Do I get in trouble)?
I did do research on this for about 3 hours this morning but I couldn't find anything useful except law documents containing words of more than 3 syllables (Had to spell check that one) which I can't understand on a good day!
It sounded like such a good idea last night but I don't really want to go to jail / lose my shop because someone gets busted.
Any help would be appreciated!!!
Even links to 'dumbed down' law!
Cheers!
