Experts worry about fall in cost of meth

Researchers are worried a fall in the cost of methamphetamine will lead to more people using the drug. A new study out today shows the cost of methamphetamine -- commonly called P -- is selling at a record low of $450 a gram in Auckland, Wellington and Waikato. Prices are higher in the South Island but have also experienced a substantial decline. Chris Wilkins is the lead researcher at Massey University's SHORE & Whariki Research Centre -- he told Gyles the lower prices may lead to heavy drug users taking more, and may also attract new users.
