Morocco , which recently adopted a law authorizing the legal use of cannabis for therapeutic and industrial , has concluded an agreement with an American company specializing in cannabis processing.
AMCUC has signed a partnership with the American company Advanced
The Moroccan Consultative Association for the Use of Cannabis (AMCUC) , which promotes the development of the cannabis sector in Morocco, announced on Wednesday, August 2, 2023, the signing of a partnership with the American company Advanced, which presents itself as the world's number one in cannabis.
This is a first in the field of cannabis, as an American industry giant is partnering with a Moroccan cannabis advisory association.
The collaboration will begin with the scientific and technical training of doctors, pharmacists, farmers, and technicians working in the cannabis supply chain. This training will be based on internationally recognized programs developed by experts from both partner countries.
According to the president of AMCUC, Radhouane Rabie, the training will include knowledge of the properties and uses of medicines made from cannabis, as well as the licenses, irrigation methods and pesticides necessary for the proper cultivation and marketing of cannabis.
The American company Advanced, which brings together international cannabis professionals, will provide logistical and technical through experts, skills and international expertise.
Rabie expressed optimism about the impact of this collaboration, which he believes will transform cannabis culture in Morocco through legalization. He added that the American company views the Moroccan market as a leading market capable of competing with major international markets in terms of converting cannabis to multi-use products.
This partnership comes at a time when Morocco adopted a law last March authorizing the legal use of cannabis for therapeutic and industrial purposes. The Kingdom hopes to benefit from this sector by creating jobs, generating revenue, and reducing illegal trafficking.
It should be noted that Morocco is the world's leading producer of cannabis resin, according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Organized Crime. The country has an estimated 47,000 hectares, primarily in the Rif.
Cannabis represents a source of income for approximately 800,000 people in the Rif region.
Law 13-21 relating to the legal uses of cannabis aims to regulate the production, processing, transport, export, distribution and use of cannabis for medical, cosmetic and industrial purposes.
It provides for the creation of a National Agency for the Regulation of Cannabis-Related Activities, responsible for issuing the necessary licenses to actors in the sector.
The law also sets the conditions for cannabis cultivation, which must have a tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or less . It also limits the authorized cultivation areas to regions with a history of cannabis production.

Born in 1978 in the Paris region, he first trained in e-commerce before turning to natural health approaches, a dual perspective that now structures his way of writing about cannabidiol: reading the scientific literature as it is, without hardening the conclusions, and presenting it in a language that everyone understands.
He discovered CBD at a time when the French market was developing faster than the information available to it. He acquired CBD.fr in 2022 and then took on editorial responsibility for the blog. Since then, he has published numerous articles covering the daily use of CBD, the interpretation of laboratory analyses, the evolution of the legal framework, and precautions for use.
