Drug use in the Non-Western World?

What is the drug use like in Non-western parts of the world? I never hear, or read much about drug use outside of North America, Europe, and Australia. With the exception of cocaine, I never hear much about South America, and with the exception of Hash, I don't hear much about the Middle East, and I never hear anything about drugs in Asia or Africa.

Does anybody have any good resources to point me to, to learn more about these places? Does SWIY have any first hand accounts that could provide insight into the drug culture of these regions of the world?

If you UTFSE and search china, japan, south africa, or israel, you will find some info you are looking for. Try searching specific country names you are interested in, that should help.

You might also want to have a look at the file archive. Under "Drug Use" there is a section called "By Country/Region" here...

There are some interesting snippets on Brazil, Jamaica, SE Asia/Pacific, Yemen, Somalia, South Africa etc
