Like going on a road trip with Bill Bryson driving and Hunter S Thompson riding shot-gun
Unsettled by the stiff old rules at home and the unfair realities concerning his natural medicine of choice, writer Colin Hogg and his faithful sidekick Bruce hit the high road in America on an exploration of a wild new world, where cannabis is free and easy.
Laugh-out-loud funny, this is a journey to the new frontier of cannabis, travelling four states that have given the legal nod to marijuana and three states that have fully inhaled the cannabis revolution and gone recreational. After sampling the best America has to offer, the writer also makes a case for legal marijuana at home, where laws are out-dated and draconian.
Colin Hogg began his journalism career as a 17-year-old cadet on the Southland Times, eventually moving to Auckland and becoming a legendary music writer and reviewer for the Star and the Herald, later establishing his own TV production company and working as a freelance writer.
