What's The Lowdown on Drugs in Casablanca?

Drugs are illegal and thus the black market is the only existent market in Morocco. One wouldn’t go as far as to say soft drugs are decriminalised, but rather frowned upon. Hash is abundantly available since Morocco was the first producer and exporter of Kif. Most Amsterdam coffeeshops are full of Moroccan products. Approximately 4000 tons are sent out yearly. Beware, prices go up the more foreign you look, and it’s often cut with henneh and other unlisted material…Try to buy from legitimate dealers. Also, different strains and perfumes are available nowadays.


Skip the cocaine. MDMA and ecstasy are not as widely available but can be found with the right plug. LSD is gaining more of the black market share together with magic mushrooms, prices go from 150 dh to 200 dh a tab. Today, ketamine is the queen of drugs in Morocco: it’s the most expensive and the hardest to get at 1000 dh+ per gram. Just like anywhere in the world, it is always preferable – vital, even – to buy from trusted sources and not random sellers on the streets. Stop-and-searches are extremely rare and only happen if caught in the act.
