  1. Why is that the people that do all the work, that are most in need of making a living to feed themselves and their families are the people that benefit least fro their labour.
    Cannabis is becoming legal all over the world, and soon many countries will not be needing to import from Morocco, and the market will be gone.
    So little is needed from the Morocco government to permit the people make a living. It’s a shameful thing that the people of the world who would like to have a little of the product from the farmers of Morocco are prevented from doing so.

  2. If the farmers secure a good, legal path to supply the CBD industry, their entire village could prosper in ways never seen before.
    This is an excellent opportunity for them, I really would love to see them get the money the farmers rightly deserve. Unfortunately, like any government in the world, opportunities are squandered and selfishly abused by the politicians.

  3. lol legal, so what, more of a world glute of cannabis. Canadians are producing subpar cannabis that has bad shelf life and backed up in holding for more than a year + could supply, leaving the consumers with harsh ganja. Most concentrates are still shatter made from BHO because real hash would be low yields the farmers would lose, but we see it time and again, the farmers of Morocco will be pushed out and a few players left in the end paying little money to any farmer left to tend to garbage herb. Canada has a few big players left and constantly watching prices drop. In the end, .50cents a gram will be inevitable and only sun grown, non energy consumption will win

  4. Cant believe in 2021 this is still even being debated, especially in morocco ffs who gives two fuks its a bit of weed. A wonder who the pricks are from each country who made this illegal they must have been the poshest pricks alive

  5. so last summer i got this bud from @t it was epic…so i thought it will be a nice idea to share the experience, this summer i will be doing a three months vlog with my girlfriend subscribe and enjoy

  6. There's opportunity for these farmers in legalisation and I hope they're able to make use of it. There will undoubtedly be people trying their very best to continue to take their cut but I hope they can fight it and win. It's their product, they should be able to offer it up on the legal market and keep as much of the profit of their labour as possible.

    There's strength in numbers, co-ops are the key with lots of small producers. Good luck Moroccan cannabis farmers!

  7. Ask your French farmers France 24 if they are rich and they will surely tell you they are earning much less than the minimum wage in France and leading a miserable life.
