In New Zealand in 1949, pure amphetamine use was so normalised that drug companies were aggressively marketing it to the public as an appetite suppressant. Fast forward to 2021 to Te Hiku ō Te Ika, and we are faced with a crisis of epidemic proportions surrounding meth use and its association with reported family violence.
This document is the result of an enquiry led by Whiria Te Muka (a partnership initiative between New Zealand Police and Te Hiku Iwi Development Trust) into the prevalence of
meth use and family violence in Te Hiku ō Te Ika.
We have undertaken a qualitative exploration to understand the landscape of meth harm in the Far North, while seeking to uncover insights that will guide us in strategies designed to reduce the impact of meth use on whānau harm. (From the Executive summary). Record #8495
