The Government has released an action plan to deal with the growing issue of methamphetamine use in New Zealand. They're investing $30 million over four years into the hardest hit communities, increasing maritime operations to stop it before it gets into the country, and we'll soon see a nationwide media campaign to raise awareness - among other policies. The amount of meth seized both in the country and offshore has increased 266% over the past five years, and the estimated social harm from meth use was $1.5 billion last year.

It's thought there are fundamental issues with the new methamphetamine contamination laws. Properties with meth residue exceeding 15 micrograms per 100-square centimetres will be considered contaminated and require treatment. Landlords and tenants will be able to quickly end tenancies with excessive levels. Residential Property Managers Association Chair Tony Mitchell told Mike Hosking it's great to have clarity, but it's out of step with the rest of the world. He says we shouldn't be accepting any meth in properties, and we now don't have the ability to enforce a zero-tolerance policy. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Property investors are celebrating new methamphetamine contamination laws coming in next year. Properties with meth residue exceeding 15 micrograms per 100-square centimetres will be considered contaminated, requiring treatment. Landlords and tenants will be able to quickly end tenancies with excessive levels. Property Investors Federation Advocacy Manager Matt Ball told Ryan Bridge the new standards will reduce costs for some landlords. He says the threshold for decontamination, which can cost a considerable amount, were conflicting under the previous guidelines, resulting in some spending money that they shouldn't have needed to.

The Drug Foundation says the country barely invests anything into helping and supporting people with meth-addiction. Discharges from public hospitals suggest meth-use has increased four-fold over the past decade. Wastewater testing last year showed a doubling in meth use. Drug Foundation Chief Executive Sarah Helm told Mike Hosking a lot more could be done, especially with knowledge from new research. She says about half of people using illicit substances have ADHD, which could help prevent drug-use if treated. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Methamphetamine use skyrocketed to its highest level last year as New Zealand struggles to keep pace. A ministerial advisory group on organised crime has released it's first report since being established in February. It says police and customs do their best, but the reality is the country is losing the fight. Advisory group chair Steve Symon told Mike Hosking there are high spikes in rural areas across the country. He says that this is evidence against the theory that gangs are dumping meth in the water to avoid police raids. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A massive spike in meth use is being linked to a change in global shopping habits. Christopher Luxon has asked ministers to look into meth use, after annual wastewater results show a 96% increase in consumption last year compared to 2023. Massey University drug researcher Chris Wilkins told Mike Hosking it's likely a case of both people using more, and more people using. He says the increase represents the changes to the drug market, which is moving from a brick-and-mortar store, to a global online platform.

P2P methamphetamine production involves the reduction of ephedrine or pseudoephedrine using red phosphorus and hydroiodic acid. The P2P method is different from the one-pot or shake-and-bake methods, which are also used to produce methamphetamine. In the P2P method, the reaction occurs in a separate vessel, whereas in the one-pot method, all the ingredients are mixed in a single container. This also produces a much stronger version of the drug and that makes it much harder to kick the addiction. One of the states that has found itself dealing with a large number of people with addiction problems is Oregon and the toll that this new age methampethamine is taking is evident on not only the people but the community as well.

The Mexican cartels' trade of drugs for weapons is a complex and illicit network that involves the exchange of narcotics, primarily cocaine, marijuana, and methamphetamine, for firearms and ammunition. The process typically follows a multi-step pattern:Drug Production: Mexican cartels have established extensive drug production and trafficking operations within the country. They cultivate and process drugs like marijuana and opium poppies, which are used to manufacture cocaine and heroin, respectively. Methamphetamine production has also increased significantly in recent years.Drug Transportation: Once the drugs are produced, cartels employ various methods to transport them across the border into the United States. These methods include the use of underground tunnels, hidden compartments in vehicles, boats, and even human couriers, known as "mules."Drug Distribution: In the United States, the Mexican cartels have established vast distribution networks, involving multiple tiers of individuals involved in the trade. These networks supply drugs to local gangs and distributors, who then distribute the narcotics further down the line.Accumulating Weapons: Cartels need weapons to protect their drug operations and maintain control over their territories. Firearms are acquired through various means, including purchases from arms dealers in Central America, illicit arms markets, and smuggling operations. Some weapons are also stolen from legitimate sources, such as law enforcement agencies or the military.Trade Negotiations: Mexican cartels establish connections with international arms dealers, intermediary groups, or corrupt individuals who can facilitate the trade of drugs for weapons. These negotiations may involve direct contact between cartel representatives and arms dealers, or they may rely on intermediaries to coordinate the exchange.Exchange Process: Once an agreement is reached, the trade takes place at a prearranged location. The cartels typically transport drugs to the designated location, where they hand over the narcotics to the arms dealers or intermediaries. In return, they receive weapons, ammunition, and other related equipment.Smuggling Weapons: After acquiring the weapons, the cartels smuggle them back into Mexico, often using similar methods employed for drug trafficking. These may include hidden compartments in vehicles, underground tunnels, or human couriers.Weapon Utilization: The acquired firearms are then used by the cartels for various purposes, including protection against rival cartels, confrontations with law enforcement agencies, and maintaining control over their illicit activities. The weapons also serve to intimidate and enforce their authority within the territories they operate.In this episode, we examine the response by the AP to a story claiming that the cartels in Mexico have a pipeline to illegal arms, including ones earmarked for the theater in Ukraine. As usual, the fact checkers are well...not exactly factual.

Get ready for an enlightening discussion with Lyndsie Bourgon as we unpack the complex world of illegal timber harvesting on the West Coast. Bourgon, whose fascination with the topic began with a 2012 news story about stolen old-growth cedar in British Columbia, provides a fresh perspective on tree poaching. We go beyond the black-and-white narrative of "bad people doing bad things" to reveal the deep economic, cultural, and historical roots that drive individuals to engage in this illicit activity. Our conversation takes a deep dive into the enduring impact of the timber wars of the early 1990s in Northern California, where the expansion of Redwoods National Park left local communities feeling unheard and betrayed. We explore the flawed economic transitions from logging to tourism, and the societal stigmas around accepting government aid. Listen as we discuss the persistent distrust toward agencies like the Forest Service and National Park Service, and the frustration that fuels resistance to change in these rural communities. In the final segment, we delve into the ethical dilemmas faced by those involved in tree poaching, the environmental damage caused by rushed harvesting, and the specialized skills that poachers take pride in. Borgon also shares her insights into current research on community forest management, highlighting inspiring stories from Scotland's Land Reform Act. This episode challenges conventional thinking and seeks comprehensive, empathetic solutions to the multifaceted issues of illegal timber harvesting. Don't miss out on this captivating conversation that offers a deeper understanding of the socio-economic complexities at play.
