How have drugs affected the formation of the Iranian state and its power dynamics? And how have governmental attemptsat controllingandregulatingillicit drugsaffected drugconsumptionandaddiction?Byansweringthesequestions,Maziyar Ghiabi suggests that the Islamic Republic’s image as an inherently conservative state is not only misplaced and inaccurate, but in part a myth. In order to dispel this myth, he skilfully combines ethnographic narratives from drug users, vivid field observations from ‘under the bridge’, with archival material from the pre- and post-revolutionary era, statistics on drug arrests and interviews with public officials.
