Drugs

Statistics about illicit drugs in New Zealand come mostly from Police crime statistics on convictions for drug offences. Illegal drugs include cannabis, heroin, cocaine (and 'crack'), LSD, khat, GHB, amphetamines and prescription drugs that are abused.

Also available is health-related information about use of legal and illegal drugs (from the Ministry of Health) and interception by NZ Customs of transmissions of illegal drugs.
