Went to Afghanistan 1965 & 1966. Here's some pics from the trip. That's two of me in a graveyard in Mazar-i-Sharif. Asked the cab driver where we could smoke som charas and he took me here. It was pure lumps of black hash and charcoal in a clay and bamboo waterpipe. The locals all coughed musically: Hoo, Haa, humph. You could not smoke it without coughing. Here's my 'b***y' laid out on a hotel pillow Kabul 1966. As I report in my account at https://internationaltimes.it/heroin-again/ I never fired the gun but used it as a threat once.
