In October 2001, this newspaper ran a story about a “new, powerful and expensive” drug that had created a class of burglars, stealing to feed $1000 a day habits.The article referred to crystal methamphetamine and introduced a new term “Ice” to the New Zealand lexicon. It was one of the first media reports about the problem methamphetamine abuse has come to represent.Six years on, it has been raised as a factor in murderous robberies and crazed killings, been the subject of a Government action plan and yet it remains the single most seized drug by Customs and the biggest single driver of police work. Although amphetamines have been available for decades in such things as diet pills, it wasn’t until the late 1990s that it became a significant issue as knowledge spread about how to manufacture the drug in homemade laboratories using ephedrine tablets and readily accessible and highly toxic chemicals.The spread of the drug is reflected in the dramatic rise in clandestine laboratories detected by police, from just one in 1996, to 41 in 2001, to 202 in 2003.Knowledge and ingredients are the necessary items for methamphetamine cooks.
