Swiss Experts Eye Moroccan Cannabis for Medical and Industrial Use

6 November 2019 – bySylvanus@Bladi · 1 min read

Deputy Larbi El Mharchi discussed the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM) proposal to legalize cannabis, during an intervention on an Arab channel where he announced that Swiss experts are showing a keen interest in Moroccan cannabis. They aim to set up a plant extraction facility for therapeutic and industrial purposes.

The MP has thus lifted a corner of the veil on the ambition of the Swiss experts. According to him, they want to buy the entire cannabis production to transform it into therapeutic and industrial products.

If the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM) proposal were to be voted on, the Swiss will be able to set up an industrial plant specialized in the processing of cannabis in Morocco. The producers, for their part, will be able to carry out their activity legally, with the authorization of the competent authorities.

This PAM member also recalled that his Party was, in 2014, the initiator of two bills relating to the legalization of cannabis for therapeutic and industrial purposes.

According to the explanations of the MP, the first stipulates the full pardon to be granted to cannabis growers and the second concerns its legalization. These two laws aim to defend small farmers and solve the problems they face in several northern regions.
