Afghan scenario for Albania’s cannabis capital

Authorities have announced that they will crack down on cannabis growers and traffickers –but should they really tell them in advance?

Most people outside of Albania have probably never heard of the village of Lazarat, set on a mountain slope just outside the historic town of Gjirokastra, close to the Greek border.

However, if you have smoked pot in Greece, Italy or elsewhere in Europe in the past ten years, there is a good chance that the drugs were grown in this mountain village. Lazarat has often been described as the country’s drug capital, and for the better part of the past decade it has been off limits for the police.
