| | Moroccan hashish journey |
 | | The Riffies, strengthened by their Berber roots, are fierce freedom fighters who have brutally punished the Moroccan military for its incursions, and Morocco's kings have allegedly issued royal edicts granting Rif families the right to grow cannabis forever, as long as the crop is used only for production of domestic kif. | | | The Rif was especially paranoid these days, Ahmed explained, because of George W Bush, and because the Moroccan government had assured United Nations drug warriors in 2001 that the country would eliminate all internal hashish production by 2008. | | | Nobody knows for sure how much marijuana is grown in Morocco, how much land is devoted to cannabis cultivation, or how much Maroc hashish is exported each year, but estimates from the European Union, the United Nations and the CIA claim the country produces at least 30,000 pounds of hashish annually. |

| | Apparently it was also used occasionally for a few poems in Middle Atlas Tamazight and in Tarifit; however, the American anthropologist Carleton Coon noted (in 1931!) that most of the Berber books in Morocco even as far north as the Rif were in Tachelhit. | | | Only a couple of magazine articles and manifestos are available in it, and only since 2003 have any books at all has been published in it; however, with the backing of the Moroccan government and of a substantial portion of Moroccan Berber activists, this looks set to change fast. | | | For a more detailed history of old Libyan and Tifinagh (in French), see Monde Berbere. |
