About Moroccan
Morocco has been the world's largest cannabis producer for decades, with the Rif Mountains being the epicenter of cultivation. Moroccan cannabis is unique in that it has been selected almost exclusively for hashish production, resulting in plants that may not produce the most impressive flowers but are incredibly resinous. The traditional varieties are a mix of indica-leaning hybrids that have adapted to the Mediterranean climate of the Rif region. Most Moroccan hashish consumed in Europe originates from these landrace genetics.
