Moroccan Cannabis Trade Declines as Europe Increases Local Production, Leading Global Seizures
The 2026 Global Drug Report revealed a decline in Morocco's role as a major source of hashish in the European market, with its market share gradually decreasing since 2017 and reaching its lowest levels in 2024. Meanwhile, cannabis production in Europe and the United States has increased. Although Morocco remains one of the largest cannabis producers, its strategies have focused on increasing THC levels while reducing CBD, and on enhancing the production of high-quality strains. However, it faces strong competition from Canadian and American products that have higher concentrations and greater variety. Additionally, the market has seen the entry of synthetic substances that have attracted criticism. In light of these changes, Morocco is aiming to develop its cannabis sector by legalizing its use for medical and industrial purposes, seeking to reduce reliance on the illegal market, amid growing recognition that the global cannabis market has become more diverse and complex.
