Juvenile Crime and Suicide rates in NZ
New Zealand is a happy country – or is it? Leading the world in teen suicide and drug use, one is tempted to gloss over the facts and react saying that cannibis smoking is leading to these tragedies.
In fact the NZ Herald highlights that NZ youth lead the world in crime, suicide and dope smoking. Right wing pundits seek to inter-relate these statistics.
NZ is third in the world for rates of Methamphetamine use amoung teens. We all know that “speed kills” but this message has been highjacked by the Road Safety people. It was invented for speed, the drug, extensive amphetamine use does cause brain damage, induce schitzophrenic symptoms and this is a definite cause of suicide.
The extensive use of Speed by kids in the UK and NZ is a horror story and if any of you felons out there are selling our kids speed, then you are definitely contributing to the suicide statistic.
Cannibis use may lead to suicide but to imply that it is a major cause is silly and misleading. Check out the individuals that use Methamphetamine and there you will find extensive criminality, familial disasters, self induced schitzophrenia and eventual suicide in far too many instances.
