Non-Fiction Books about the Australian Drug-Scene?

[losthippy]

I'm on the hunt for books on the Australian drug-scene generally, but more specifically to do with Cannabis. Before the internet happened I bought a lot of books on Cannabis history and cultivation from overseas. I'd scan the High Times magazine book reviews and every few months a plain brown package would arrive with all the latest from America. I read Bill Drake and got a grass-roots feel for what was going on, was inspired by Lawrence Cherniak's wild photography in The Great Books..., and Connell-Clarke and Rosenthal for a botanical foundation to work from. All really useful and stimulating, but talking about Cannabis culture in the US and rest of the world. In all respects Australia never rated a mention. At the time our contributions to the topic was a couple of dinky cultivation guides with shit photos and shitter advice, and JJ McRoach's excellent A Dozen Dopey Yarns. All this was nearly 50 years ago and I haven't seen another title in that time written about the Australian experience. If I'm wrong, please tell me so. We have decades of growing under the radar so imagine the stories that could be told. That would be a history I'd pay good money to read.

I waiting for a publisher keen on making a book out my best amphetamine fuelled Bluelight stories from the last 3 years. Although they are all essentially the same story. Had something important to do. Took some amps thinking it would help. Realise it didn’t help. Add a cocktail of least 4 different drugs since the day’s blown anyway. Go on brothel crawl for 6 to 8 hours with Asian girls and trans babes I know love to get high and don’t watch the clock. Seek cover when the sun rises and then hit the pipe hard to power up for night 2 which is basically a repeat of night 1. As dawn threatens to appear again add some benzos and AP’s

I've actually contemplated writing a "fictionalised" book based on the last 5 years of utter depravity that have transpired since I moved to Sydney in 2016.

So many fucked up situations, drugs taken, drinks drunk, vaginas pumped, a few concussions and my nostrils burn.
