Notes:	Description: This volume explores how drug use functions in the interaction of people in the Western Pacific. Drugs act as special exchange tokens in this area of the world, and have great control over the exchange of goods and series. This book explains how drug production, exchange, and consumption fits into a social context. Drugs play a part in determining status, for example, and they must be understood in order to fully understand the Western Pacific culture as a whole.
