🔴 Condition - Good 🔴'Dopeland' follows cult author John Birmingham as he gets paid to travel around Australia in search of its marijuana culture. On his tour he meets the dope smok ers of Australia - and fins that they're not what you might expect.Yes, there are some sci-fi geeks, some student activists, and the obligatory Nimbin ferals, but he also finds himself smoking with conservative politicians, lawyers, cops, merchant bankers and school teachers. Given that thirty to forty percent of the adult population have smoked marijuana, and that dope is one of Australia's biggest cash crops, worth roughly five billion dollars a year, maybe we shouldn't be so surprised.
