‘Super Lab’ found near Tauranga

A M**h ‘Super Lab’ has been found on a rural property on the outskirts of Tauranga.

Tauranga has been in the news this week. This ‘Super Lab’, M**h and Cannabis found in a raid in Parkvale on Tuesday, 1kg of M**A, otherwise known as Ecstasy, found at another address. We have also had the Guilty pleas of the 4 men in the $20m Co***ne bust, where the drugs came into Tauranga port attached to the hull of a container ship.

The Herald is reporting today that there was a large explosion at the McLaren Fall Road property of the ‘Super Lab’ on wednesday night. The Police raided at 6am Thursday morning. Neighbours describe it as a quiet street – little wonder why they picked this street as no one knew anything until it blew up.

That is a lot of drug activity in one week.

Police drug squad find m**h 'super lab' in Tauranga Police say the clan lab in rural Tauranga is one of the biggest ever found in New Zealand.

Two Tauranga Men Plead Guilty to $20.0m Co***ne Importation

The media focus is often on M**h or Cannabis but here we have 2 Tauranga men pleading guilty to Importing $20.0m worth of Co***ne.

Co***ne, C17H21NO4, is a stimulant and party drug. A recent report into drugs in our waste water system showed that Co***ne was one of the drugs taken on the weekend, suggesting its recreational use.

46kg of Co***ne made its way to the country attached to the side of commercial shipping boat.

More than a Third of Northlaand Road Deaths Positove for Drugs.

It looks like Roadside Drug Testing can't come soon enough in the far North.

Drugs involved in many of Northland's fatal road crashes, police say More than a third of Northland's road crash fatalities this year tested positive for drugs, and police fear the numbers will continue to rise.

New Zealanders are among the highest users of m**h in the world

The NZ Herald has today released a documentary – Fighting the Demon - Inside New Zealand M**h Crisis. It is well worth the 40 mins of your time.

‘A 20-year fight against the drug has failed’
‘It is now purer and more available than ever’

The documentary should be watched by landlords, property managers and employers to get an insight into the world of a m**h user.

‘In 2003, Customs and Police seized 3kg of m**h’
‘During 2016, they confiscated 941kg’

At around the 28:30 mins mark Robin Oxborough, a Counsellor from Te Ara Oranga, talks about the dopamine spike and why people use m**h.
‘I feel so confident when I use it’.
‘For the business man, in his mind he is using it to be more productive’.
‘For the beneficiary, they are using it to get out of their existence’.

We are shown a couple of ‘ex addicts’ going through Rehab. Both of which are from Northland. Rehab facilities are in short supply and hopefully the upcoming budget provides a big boast to funding.
