I worked in a psychiatric hospital for twelve years, though not in England. I understand how hospitals turn away admissions who are uninsured and taking rec drugs. That being said, you are going to have a much better chance if you present in person. Tell them specifically that you are thinking of seriously hurting yourself (if indeed you are) and that you have a sister who is schizophrenic (meaning, of course, that there is much more chance that you would also have a psychotic illness, as opposed to your hallucinations being the sole result of rec drug use). Refuse to leave until you are admitted. When people did that, it created a legal issue for the hospital not to take them in.
