The story

What Is Doper About?

The premise of Doper without spoilers.

A day‑long documentary that tracks a group of stoner friends, focusing on Bill—expelled from the Marines after six years of continuous drug use and still unsure whether to quit—and Barry, a forklift operator who, despite being high, earns Employee of the Month. Their philosophies—living for today and worrying about tomorrow later—drive the film’s laid‑back narrative.
