Law Enforcement
“80%” was the guess about how many officers would take relatively little money. The exceptions, people warned, could mean time in jail. There was nothing to back up the percentage.
Where to Buy Marijuana
The medina and Centre-Ville at night were where tourists usually heard offers. A taxi driver might offer too if you looked like a visitor.
Marijuana Prices
A local might pay 200 dirhams for ten grams. A tourist could hear 500 for the same amount. Haggle.
Types of Marijuana
Golden Pollen was the best I came across in Rabat. I thought the hash was generally good.
More Information
Watch for inflated prices or a piece of wrapped chocolate sold as hash. I worried more about getting hustled than threatened.
