Illegal Drugs

Know the laws of your host country. In many other nations, the use of illegal drugs is punishable by severe penalties—including death. Illegal drug use is a violation of your participant contract and can be the cause for your dismissal from the University of California. If you are caught with illegal drugs, you are subject to local (not U.S.) laws.
