A Life in Hashistan

Nomads. Hashshashins. Freedom Fighters. Terrorists. Chris Turner entered Afghanistan in 1967 armed with his 16mm camera and his hash pipe. The beauty and adventure that he found in this tumultuous country made him return again and again. Drugs, prison, Soviet invasion, and post-9/11 disillusionment culminated to make A LIFE IN HASHISTAN.

REALGEM IN AFGHANISTAN

"What are you here for?" they ask me.

"What, right here? drinking beer. or did you mean more generally in Kabul or Afghanistan?"

EX- MILLENIAL GIRL

...when Leila got busted and all I had was maybe 240mg (or g?) – 8 pills of methadone, I thought it was an ample supply to help me kick opium. I doled out the methadone bit by bit, day by day, not realizing 8 pills was nothing. But the pills cost $180 and thus seemed like a lot – a ton of methadone. Tanya had her own pills.

And, I guess being in prison hasn’t stopped Big Pas from thinking about “life on the outside”.

I can’t say what he intends to do on the “outside” but it involves a vision or should I say his visions for Africa. No doubt, like most PMC contractors (ok mercenaries), Africa holds a special place in their hearts...
