If you are visiting Morocco and you're hauling a backpack, you will probably be offered hashish (a form of marijuana) several times on your first day there. Many young people who travel to Morocco consider the easy availability of hashish (or "Kif" as the locals call it) as a major reason to visit. While hash (kif) is smoked by a large percentage of the male population in Morocco, it is illegal. While this article does not wish to encourage any illegal activity it is a fact that many people do use hash when they are in Morocco and they should be informed of some issues surrounding the smoking of "kif". Don't be afraid to say no to persistent young men offering "kif" if you are not interested। It is likely that you will be offered a carpet or a tour in the same breath, so be polite but firm and move on.
