MĀORI MORE LIKELY TO FACE PRISON AFTER DRUG CONVICTION
The Drug Foundation’s latest state of the nation has found more than half of those being imprisoned for low level drug offences are Māori.
The report says as many as 50 people have died over the past 18 months from synthetic cannabinoid substances.
Nearly half of those convicted are young people under 30, 80 percent are male, and 41 percent are Māori.
