New Zealand Cocaine Use Nearing 7kg Weekly

Recent research indicates New Zealanders are consuming close to 7 kilograms of cocaine weekly. This increase is attributed to cheaper and more accessible cocaine along with rising social acceptance.

The study illustrates a significant rise in cocaine use over the past decade. Cheaper prices and increased availability have contributed to this trend. Social attitudes towards cocaine have also shifted, making its use more commonplace. Experts are concerned about the implications of this growing drug culture on public health and safety.
