| Summary/Abstract |
Almonds are not the only ?owers in bloom; the provinces of Kandahar and I-lelmand are awash with opium sap-producing poppies, as well. After two years of steady decline, the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime (UNODC) predicts a significant growth in opium production in Afghanistan this year. This means one thing, and one thing only: all the international forces - from the offshore bankers to the dollar- a-trip drug mules - who benefit from the multi-billion dollar opiuml heroin business that flourishes under the cover of the ongoing war in Afghanistan are alive and kicking and the insurgents are assured that their financing will remain undisturbed.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article focuses on the embeddedness of hashish production in the local economy of Toolu, a village in Kyrgyzstan. It explores how transformations in social relationships and the monetization of gift giving put constant pressure on families to find cash in a semi-subsistence agricultural economy. Although not produced on an industrial scale in the community, hashish is used as a cash crop in times of deficit. Based on a mixed-methods study combining ethnographic fieldwork with survey data, I show how the hashish economy is intertwined with different forms of reciprocal relationships based on gift-giving practices and the monetization of social relationships. In doing so, I illustrate how the hashish economy is embedded in local livelihoods and shapes emerging forms of economic morality in Kyrgyz society.
