Turkey has recently become a global drug trade hub for cocaine from South America. However its growing domestic market and demand for cocaine, cannabis and other illicit drugs have never received a full academic attention and research effort. Relying on ethnographic data o a local drug enterprise in the capital, this paper demonstrates that the local drug trade tends to be structured as a field of struggle in which agents make affective investments and wrestle for material and symbolic rewards.Their search for recognition and an ethos of criminal cultural consumerism create a potential source of the conflict and dynamism of the drug business field.
