    Cocaine use in New Zealand has reached record highs, as drug cartels and gangs flood the market

    Cocaine use in New Zealand has reached record highs, as drug cartels and gangs flood the market


    ESR data shows while methamphetamine is still the most popular drug, its use has decreased from peaks seen during 2021 lockdowns.

    But... cocaine use has shot up over the past 18 months.

    More than 2.3 kilograms was consumed weekly in June, nationwide

    That's up from 600 grams when testing first started in November 2018.

    Auckland and Queenstown consumed the most of the Class A drug per capita.
