Methamphetamine laws and penalties - New Zealand PoliceMethamphetamineMethamphetamine is a class A drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act and therefore attracts severe penalties. Manufacturing, importing, dealing and posession for supply can lead to a life sentence. Possession of five grams of methamphetamine (a tablespoon) is enough to warrant a conviction for possession for supply. Those caught importing the precursors of methamphetamine (pseudoephedine and ephedrine) without a license can attract jail sentences of up to eight years. Posessing a pipe or utensil for smoking methamphetamine is also an offence and can attract a year of inprisonment, or a fine of up to $1000.
