(Morocco) (full– 2002) https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/docum...&doi=07b61ac3298c78524567647c2f5591fd620ce274 The aim of the present paper is to present information about a kif preparation smoked by the Moroccan population. Results are considered as an advance of our actual investigations undertaken in the Rif zone to observe an improvement in night vision after smoking kif. 1. Introduction A Moroccan proverb says that the kif is like fire: ‘It scalds little and burns a lot’. At the present time, the area of cultivation of Cannabis sativa L. in the Rif Mountains of Northern Morocco approximates 100 000 ha, although in the 1970s this area was concentrated in 100 km 2 in the Ketama/ Chaouen /Targuist triangle (Mikuriya, 1967). There is no precise date as to the introduction of cannabis in Morocco. The historian Al-Bakri (11th century) did not indicate its presence in the Maghreb. Neither Al-Maqrizi, nor Ibn Al-Baytar (13th century) mention its existence in Morocco, but they extensively described it in Egypt. It is certain that its consumption was quite diffuse among the Moroccan population in the 1800s for, by the end of the 19th century, the Sultan Moulay Al-Hassan issued very strict laws to combat the trade in the drug. During the period of the protectorate (1926 /1956), its sale was officially legalized under the monopoly of the tobacco grower, ‘Re´gie des tabacs ’ that prepared the kif, in its companies in Tangier andKenitra, and commercialized it.
