Berber tribes

Morocco, on the north coast of Africa directly across the Strait of Gibraltar from Spain, is the closest country to Western Europe where marijuana is extensively grown and used by the inhabitants. It is a poor country, with the per capita income less than 200 per year. Morocco obtained its independence from Spain and France only in 1956. Marijuana is grown in quantity by the mountain-dwelling "unaccultur-ated" Berber tribes in the Rif Mountains and is sold in the partially Westernized coastal plains.

Berber tribes cross over the frontier into the southern Roman province of Numidia...
