The New Arab reports
This summer, cannabis-infused goodies are set to hit the shelves of the Moroccan market, including CBD-infused chocolate, candy and tea. The Islamist opposition, however, is gearing up to derail these plans.
“Starting mid-June, legally produced cannabis products are expected to be available for sale in pharmacies across the Moroccan kingdom,” reported local media over the weekend.
So far, the distribution and sale of cannabis-based products will be confined to pharmacies, whether they are dietary supplements, cosmetics, or other items, “to ensure monitoring and traceability,” said an official source quoted by local media Hespress.
The source did not elaborate on any conditions to restrict customers’ age or medical status.
The New Arab contacted the National Agency for the Regulation of Cannabis (ANRAC) for clarification. A spokesperson said this information will be available to the public “soon” as meetings regarding the marketing process of cannabis products are still ongoing.
