P Threat

Kia Ora,

I see that the police are clamping down on 'P' & whilst it is definitely involved in a lot of crime or the reason for crime it is still not the worst of the drugs. That title goes to the 'harmless' Marijuana.

Many will disagree with that & for many it is harmless. Having worked security at a major hospital dealing a lot with psychiatric patients it soon became evident that the green tobacco was behind many of the illnesses. Not only that addicts told us that many of the minor crime waves they had being involved in were due to their dealers giviing them the drug free in return to items gained from crimes. One claimed to have once broken into 45 cars down a street & was never caught.

Others will say alcohol is the worst. Yes it is involved in a lot of crime in particular violent crime here in NZ, but because of the perceived harmless nature of marijuana, the crimes it is responsible for tend to be in the background. It is also the first step into the world of harder drugs for many.
