There was such a cannabis shortage in NZ last time I was there, frequent raids, whereas Meth is too easy to find...
Quote:
Four people have been arrested and more than 4000 cannabis plants were seized in a major police drug operation in Northland.
Last Thursday, more than 20 police, executed a search warrant at a property on Oturei Settlement Rd, near Aratapu.
Five glass houses filled with cannabis plants, including one which was more than 60 metres wide was located at the property by police.

Detective Senior Sergeant Geoff McCarthy said the cannabis cultivation operation was sophisticated and well established and the plants ranged in size from seedlings through to mature plants approximately 2.5 metres high.
"This is one of the most significant cannabis seizures Police have made in the Northland District for a number of years.
"There can be little doubt the cannabis being cultivated was destined for supply throughout New Zealand," McCarthy said.
McCarthy said the operation highlighted police's commitment to reducing the demand for cannabis and disrupting the supply chain.
"This is a great result for our communities who in the end suffer from the effects of drugs and organised crime," he said.
The four men will appear at Whangarei District Court next week and police could not rule out further seizures or arrests.

But 100 million children become meth heads after parents and teachers force them to take pharmaceutical amphetamines during their childhood citing pseudomedicine and ADD ADHD diagnosis and then cutoff when dropped from mom and dads insurance, so they turn to the street.

Every parent accepting of a diagnosis and prescription for add/adhd type drugs should have to take a dose themselves first. And then also try a line of coke.
Accomplishing two things. Destigmatizing coke since it's not nearly as strong as the meds they're giving kids. And keeping the kids off the meds once people realizing they're giving their kids hard drugs
