Abstract
This article surveys drug literature that is constructed around the motif of travel, bringing the drug narrative and the traveller's tale together. It asserts that this unique literary genre reveals an inner logic which also pivots on the essentially capitalist view of the world as a vast pattern of consuming habits.
