Morocco: Prepared to boost exports and reduce trade deficit by legalizing marijuana?

Some politicians are obviously prepared to do anything to attract money to their State coffers. As reported by The Independent, politicians in Prime Minister Abdelilah Benkirane’s Islamist Justice and Development party (PJD) as well as the opposition Authenticity and Modernity, are considering draft legislation proposed by the Morocco Network. Mohamed Boudra, a member of Authenticity and Modernity and governor of Hoceima-Taounate, the country’s biggest cannabis-producing region, said his party is seeking to enact the bill within three years.
Khadija Rouissi, a member of the Authenticity and Modernity party, has called for a national debate about legalising marijuana. “We can’t carry on ignoring this elephant in the room,” she said.

The elephant, posing a threat to the Moroccan society, should definitely not be ignored. Kill it!
