The Drug Foundation's latest report on drug use here in Aotearoa paints an interesting picture on who are consuming illegal substances and what they're taking.
Cocaine use has seen a significant increase in usage over the past year, while more common drugs like MDMA and methamphetamine have had a slight decrease.
But what is still consistent is that drugs continue to be used by people in every city, town and region up and down Aotearoa.
