The latest set of results from the 2024 New Zealand Drugs Trends Survey has shed light on the non-medical use of pharmaceuticals in New Zealand.
Over 10,000 people took the survey, and this year for the first time they were asked about their recreational use of pharmaceuticals and the use of psychedelics for therapeutic purposes.
From the results it looks like we may be part of a global trend that's been dubbed a "psychedelic renaissance".
Helping Jesse break down the results is a member of the NZ Drugs Research Team at Massey University's SHORE & Whāriki Research Centre, Dr Robin van der Sanden.
