The Law Society says Meth Guidelines are Urgently Needed
The lack of Methamphetamine contamination guidelines are causing much confusion. New guidelines are certainly needed and are expected to be ready early next year, when actually they are needed now. Ministry of Health guidelines which were designed to clean up former meth labs are instead being used to assess homes where the drug is being smoked. Experts believe that when the levels are so low they pose no risk to health.

Police aren't ruling out the possibility an international drug ring is at work after Northland officers made the largest meth seizure in New Zealand history.
Three men charged in connection with the methamphetamine haul have appeared in Kaitaia District Court. The trio, aged 19, 26 and 31, are charged with possession of methamphetamine for supply and importing methamphetamine Judge Sharp remanded the men in custody till July 6 and granted interim name suppression. Worth nearly $500 million, police found the 448kg of P in the back of a campervan. The discovery came after members of the public reported suspicious vehicles in the area, and people trying to launch boats off the Far North's west coast. Northland police district commander superintendent Russell Le Prou said their investigation so far hadn't shown evidence of an international deal. "This is without a doubt, the largest seizure of methamphetamine in New Zealand," Mr Le Prou said. "We received notification of suspicious behaviour in the past few weeks, and that has allowed us to get to this point." |
