MOROCCAN HASH FACTS

 In 2004, the United Nations' first Cannabis Survey revealed that 134,000 hectares of marijuana had been cultivated to Morocco in the previous year, yielding 42 percent of the world's hashish, and establishing the famous Rif Mountains as the leading international region in the production and export of hashish. Cannabis cultivation in Morocco dates from the arrival of Arab invaders in the fourth century, and has survived countless sultans, kings and even Spanish rule.
