Afghanistan, Fortress of Cannabis

Book excerpt: Dive into the smoky chillum-houses of northern Afghanistan, through the ripe cannabis fields, the harvest and the making of hashish. This book takes you on an odyssey in search of Afghan cannabis traditions and their influences on the modern dope culture. Catch glimpses of an unexplored topic, in sharp contrast with most contemporary photographic and journalistic productions related to this country: the forgotten image of a peaceful and proud Afghanistan, perpetuating its traditional cannabis culture.
