The Waipu dairy has stopped selling Kronic, a synthetic cannabis - like drug which has been available at the store since last summer. Kiran Prasad, who manages the store, said the salesman who sold her the product had said it was a herbal cigarette and she hadn’t realised it was a drug. She said several people including someone from the Bream Bay College (PTA) Parent Teachers Association had been in to talk to her about the danger they felt the drug presented to local teenagers and she had agreed to stop selling it. Kronic is a dried herb dosed in a synthetic cannabis like drug or cannabinoid, which can be sold legally to anyone over the age of 18. It contains synthetic chemicals similar to THC, the active component of cannabis. As the chemical structure of cannabinoids differ from THC, their sale is not controlled by New Zealand’s drug laws. In addition to Kronic there are a number of other synthetic cannabis products available in New Zealand known variously as: Spice, Puff, Thai high, Dream and Aroma.

An earlier suggestion made by Patuharakeke in 2009 – Te Waiwarawara was opposed by the Ruakaka Ratepayers Association in favour of the name Ruakaka Scenic Reserve. Lynnie Gibson the Department of Conservation’s Whangarei Area office Programme Manager for community relations attended the Ruakaka Ratepayers Association’s Annual General Meeting on Tuesday 10 May to advise that the department would be making a recommendation to the New Zealand Geographic board for the name change in June.

People who come to Waipu to commit crime usually get caught. Quick thinking by Robert Spriggs of the Waipu Off Licence has given Police a strong lead after a theft from the store. On Wednesday 18 May, at around 2.30pm, two men walked out of the store and drove off with a bottle of Wild Turkey and a carton of Maverick. Robert jumped into his own car and followed the pair to the highway where they turned north. Robert called the Police giving a description of the car and its registration number - BE5315.

The British Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs warns that synthetic cannabinoids may be more harmful than cannabis “because of their potency, dose variability and overdose risk.” Also as cannabis can have adverse effects on mental health, particularly the mental health of young people it is likely that this drug and others like it will also carry this risk. From a Royal College of Psychiatrists paper on Cannabis and mental health - “ Over the past few years, research has strongly suggested that there is a clear link between early cannabis use and later mental health problems in those with a genetic vulnerability - and that there is a particular issue with the use of cannabis by adolescents.” A review of The Misuse of Drugs Act has been tabled in Parliament and the Law Commission has recommended that all new psychoactive substances should be banned until they have been assessed and approved by a new drug regulator as they present “an unacceptable level of risk to the public.” Sparky the one legged kiwi at OTP Primary Continued from page 1 “Of course when I told him where he was going he wasn’t quite so grumpy”, said Mr. Webb. 3#')###$%&'(')*+$,'$)-456 The children had lots of questions.

The school’s head of physical education Ian Bunting commented that Bream Bay students are lucky to be able to run over farmland. He said other Northland schools have to run their cross country races around the school fields and farmers are unwilling to allow the children access to their land.
