Social worker on meth use among children

From Morning Report, 8:10 am on 27 April 2022

Meth use is on the rise - and there are reports children as young as eight are using it.

Police say meth use was up 32 per cent in the last few months of last year, and doubled after the country went into lockdown.

Otangarei Trust chief executive Martin Kaipo says meth use in NZ is starting to compare to what's seen in America or Australia.

He spoke to Kim Hill.
