Summary:This book is concerned with the origins, evolution and impact of drugs on the states and societies of the Middle East. The primary focus of the book is ten countries, chosen because of their substantive yet contrasting experiences with different aspects of drugs, from cultivation, through consumption and trafficking, to state responses and the final incorporation of drugs into the cultures of the different societies.
