Cannabis in Morocco: truth or myth about thousands of illegal hectares?

Mohammed Ameur, Moroccan ambassador to Brussels, reacts to accusations that Morocco turns a blind eye to 51,920 hectares of illegal cannabis cultivation. Accusations made by François, a young man from Anderlechtwho had stayed three times in the northern provinces, the region of Chefchaouen, Ketama and the Rif mountains.

According to the testimony collected by The Last Hour on November 25, François recounted seeing fields of kif “cultivated as far as the eye could see”, over “thousands of hectares”, but “no intervention” from a police and gendarmerie service for “the entire duration of my stays on site”. Which leads him to conclude that Morocco turns a blind eye to 51,920 hectares of illegal cannabis cultivation.
