Morning neighbours,

Methamphetamine appears to be closing in on alcohol as the nation's most addictive substance.

Usage is so rampant that Waikato District Health Board workers say it has endangered the region's methadone programme and pushed rehab facilities to maximum capacity.

Have you seen meth's impact in the community? And what do you think should be done about the issue?

We're also on the lookout for meaningful stories in this area so please email news@waikatotimes.co.nz if you have a story to tell.
