Welfare group hunts drug suppliers
PA Auckland Welfare workers have joined police hunting for suppliers of marijuana laced with what could be heroin or cocaine-based products. A community worker and the recently resigned Hillary College board’s chairman, Mr Dan Davis, said suppliers in the Otara area, were selling “joints" for $3O each at schools and shopping centres.
Mr Davis, one of the six-member welfare group, said marijuana was laced with a “whitey, powdery” substance and resembled coleslaw.
The group wants to find and persuade suppliers not to sell the drug-mix because it triggers aggression in the user.
"They are like animals if they smoke that stuff,” he said. "They have a look on their faces which says they’ll kill you.”
