Methamphetamine use skyrocketed to its highest level last year as New Zealand struggles to keep pace.
A ministerial advisory group on organised crime has released it's first report since being established in February.
It says police and customs do their best, but the reality is the country is losing the fight.
Advisory group chair Steve Symon told Mike Hosking there are high spikes in rural areas across the country.
He says that this is evidence against the theory that gangs are dumping meth in the water to avoid police raids.
