What are Moroccan drug laws and how are they practised?
I believe there’s a hard and fast rule here. Unless you’re going to Amsterdam, it is never a good idea to use illegal drugs while abroad. That’s a very strange hard and fast rule. The rules in Amsterdam re cannabis products (and prostitution, for that matter) exist throughout Holland, and depending on the drug your talking about, the penalty for posession and use in some countries is actually less than it is in the U.S. (assuming that your ‘abroad’ is the same as my ‘abroad’).
If you want to smoke Moroccan weed do it in Amsterdam. Pot really cheap in Morocco but the guy who sells it to you may turn you into the police for the reward. For getting caught you could spend up to 10 years in jail plus a steep fine. Unless you have friends who are locals the risk isn’t worth the gain.
European media regularly have stories about poor sods who thought they needed some dope in Morocco. Bad idea. Also a bad idea: being a bus driver/truck driver and having someone stuff your gas tank/spare wheel/… with dope, only to get caught by the border patrols. The phrase “rotting away in prison” was invented for westerners trying to survive 10 years + in Moroccan prisons, especially if they need medical attention. Basically, your only hope is that the king dies and his successor hands out a general pardon – note: the last king was installed on the throne 3 or 4 years ago, he’s in excellent health & in the prime of his life. Do not, not, under any circumstance, go near drugs in Morocco.
