Following last week’s groundbreaking research into the migration patterns of rich kids moving from Bondi Beach, to Byron Bay, to Bali – anthropologists have today received over $20m in Government funding to find out whether LSD is something people start doing in Darwin, or something they were already into before they got there.
Situated on the Timor Sea, Darwin is the largest city in the sparsely populated Northern Territory, with a population of 145,916. It is the smallest and most northerly of the Australian capital cities, and acts as the Top End’s regional centre – as well as a tropical town that is really chill and for some reason really flushed with LSD.
Researchers have been asked by Prime Minister Turnbull to figure out why acid is such a big thing up there, and if it’s all the humidity making these white dread bongo drum types go a bit funny.
“I just, I just think it’s worth finding out. How did Darwin become the new Nimbin?”
“Why is it so big with the doofers?”
This new grant follows a report by the Australian Bureau of Statistics finds that up to 84% of Darwin’s population partake in the recreational use of hard hallucinogenics at least once a fortnight.
Further more, close to 98% of the adult population claimed to have taken the class-A narcotic over the Christmas break.
