I hate to ask you hypothetical questions, but do you think if you had refused them entry you would have been able to wipe you hard drives and perhaps avoid incriminating yourself so much? Can you detail what kind of evidence they were able to secure from your computer?

I think drug use is much more tolerated in UK courts than in the US, assuming you are white and well spoken. Particularly if you are in full time higher education. I know of someone at my university who was raided in the middle of the night, caught with large amounts of weed and ketamine (class B here) and £900 on cash. Ended up getting a two year suspended sentence as they made a good impression on the judge for being a high achieving law student with no prior record and playing the "fell in with the wrong crowd" card.
