High violence hits schools

Incidents of violence against teachers are "on the rise" due to the availability of the drug P in schools. Police bust meta-amphetamine labs but this report of alleged availability in all Auckland North Shore schools may indicate new markets are sought out by those who make a profit selling psychosis and death. Is demand for a drug that can cause insane behaviour lowered as its users damage their brains and can no longer function adequately? Are pushers really entering schools to find new customers, or is demand driven by kids getting hooked?

In our opinion, the facts have not been discovered yet. Generalized statements do not pinpoint causes, and perhaps that the old adage "Speed Kills" is a reason that fresh meat is required by a black market that will endanger children and corrode the eduction system with pure problems.

Risk taking is part of growing up. Speed is compact, easily concealed and hard to detect. P (Pure speed) is highly addictive.
