Morocco is transforming its reputation as the world’s leading hashish producer by officially regulating cannabis cultivation for therapeutic use. With a history of cannabis production in the Rif mountains, the initiative aims to curtail illegal trafficking while promoting legal production for industrial purposes. Notably, Abdellatif Adebibe, a historical advocate for legalization, emphasizes the importance of traditional cannabis farming for local communities. The country’s king initiated this change in 2021, marking a significant shift in cannabis policies in Morocco.
