Report from Larache province two years into its cannabis eradication campaign

Bladi, in a report from the Larache area, said the province had officially been a province without cannabis since campaigns to uproot kif began in May 2005 under the governor El Aïnaïne ben Khalihema, and that more than 3,500 hectares were said to have been cleared around Ksar el-Kebir. Bladi quotes a grower whose field had been uprooted twice in three years by gendarmerie teams with tractors, and reports that dozens of growers had been sentenced to two to five years in prison.
