Dear Mr Sutherland

 

I refer to your Official Information Act request of 22 November 2016 for:

 

In as much detail as possible, including references to where the
information is sourced the latest yearly overall dollar cost of harm
statistics from drug use for the following legal and illegal drugs:

1. Alcohol
2. Tobacco
3. Cannabis
4. Synthetic Cannabis
5. LSD
6. Ecstasy
7 .MDMA
8. Heroin
9. Methamphetamine
10. Cocaine
11. Mushrooms

If you able to split cost of harm between user harm and harm to others,
please do.

 

Police do not hold the information required to answer your request. Police
believes that this information is more likely to be held by the Ministry
of Health

 

I am therefore transferring these parts of your request to the Ministry of
Health pursuant to section 14 of the Official Information Act 1982.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Jason Smith
