Morocco to legalize cannabis for health purposes
Rabat, Chouaib Brhadda, September 1, AZERTAC
The National Agency was established in Morocco to legalize cannabis-related activities, responsible for implementing the state strategy in the field of cultivation, production, manufacturing, processing, marketing and export of cannabis and the import of cannabis products for medical, pharmaceutical and industrial purposes.
AZERTAC Agency reported that Mohammed Derouiche, professor, university researcher and director of the Thought Foundation for Development, Culture and Science, said that if the issue of cannabis were managed according to a purely national logic, Morocco would attract huge investments, especially in light of the huge profits that international companies derive from its use for important medical purposes. It is also suitable for beautification and even construction.
Certainly, adds Mohammed Derouiche, the Moroccan region known for the cultivation of cannabis will have the opportunity to achieve unprecedented legitimate economic development, and we hope that the implementation of this decision will bring good news to its population and that stability will prevail in an atmosphere of comfort.
After the involvement of several farmers in the project to legalize the Indian cannabis plant in the cooperatives of Taounate in Morocco, a Swiss committee is expected to visit the fields of the cooperative "Waid Ouargha" next September.
According to AZERTAC, based on a statement he made to the Moroccan Second Channel, Mr. Abdelaziz El-Bakali, an official involved in the cooperative, confirmed that the committee would monitor the level of work of the cooperatives and farmers in promoting the cultivation of cannabis, and will grant certificates.
Al-Baqali added that the "Wid Wargha" cooperative is open to experts from Spain and Portugal, and two experts from the two countries have already visited nurseries to grow "kief" seeds in the cold-water area of the Bani Walid community.
Following the royal pardon recently granted to farmers of the Indian cannabis plant in the region, he stressed the need to continue efforts to encourage the establishment of cooperatives, and to help farmers and enlighten them with useful advice and necessary guidance.
