The Moroccan hash industry – (part one: Peace)

For almost thousand years, the Rif has been home to large scale cannabis cultivation. While there have been flare-ups of violence from the Moroccan police from time to time, the past decade has seen a transition to peace in the War on Drugs. In Amsterdam - hash-selling coffeeshops rely heavily on this industry, while the entire supply chain is still illegal. I wanted to find out what's going on and why we're not talking about this. So I went to Morocco to find out. Controlled Substance is a Youtube channel that tries education instead of oppression to control drug use. We approach the topic from a scientific perspective and without any taboos. We assume intelligence and responsibility from our viewers, since all are actors in one of the biggest conflicts of our time: the international War on Drugs. Controlled Substance is hosted from the Netherlands by science journalist Thijs Roes and is produced by Yeah Science in Amsterdam.
