Tauranga man Mike Fisk says public attention should shift from the dairies which sell Kronic synthetic cannabis products to those that don't.

'After seeing on TV all the dairies selling Kronic, I thought maybe there's some way to promote the good ones – to promote the ones that have got a bit of a conscience,” says Mike.

Mount Maunganui dairy owner Peter Grindrod, pictured with his dog Basil, is proud to not sell Kronic

'I walked into my local dairy and told them I wouldn't be coming back. I told them; you sell this stuff to my kids and it puts me in this position.”

Mike's frustration is based on Kronic's Pineapple Express product, which contains benzodiazepine, a drug used for the short term treatment of anxiety and as an anticonvulsant.

Tauranga couple Wally and Merle Climo have spoken about the dangers of benzodiazepine after Wally had been on the drug for 26 years to treat epilepsy.

'It ruined my life,” says Wally.

'I went from having a normal life to not being able to function normally.

'It's shocking – you can get heroin, cannabis and P and all the hard drugs, put them all together and they haven't as much impact on your life as benzodiazepine.”
