Summary:Intends to analyse the issue of cannabis production in the Vale do Sao Francisco region in Northeast Brazil, the largest area of cannabis farming in the country. To discuss the reasons that lead to the farming of this herb, we attempted to identify the principal players involved in its farming and the relations, both paci c and hostile, established between them. Cultivation of the plant is established against a backdrop of illicit culture formed and institutionalized as a complementary market to legal crops, an alternative source of income in the absence of an agricultural policy in the region.
