The Royal Pardon granted by His Majesty King Mohammed VI on the occasion of the anniversary of the Revolution of the King and the People to individuals convicted, prosecuted, or sought in cases related to cannabis cultivation allows for guiding growers toward legal production, according to Italian expert in international relations, Marco Baratto.
The royal pardon is not an act to encourage “the illegal production of cannabis; quite the opposite, it is granted to illegal cannabis growers to guide them toward legal production,” wrote the Italian political scientist on his X account on Wednesday.
After the COVID-19 crisis, Morocco developed a leading pharmaceutical industry on the African continent, Baratto continued, noting that medicinal cannabis can be used to lower blood pressure in cases of glaucoma resistant to conventional therapies, or to reduce involuntary body and facial movements caused by Tourette’s syndrome.
In this context, the Italian expert praised the royal initiative, which paves the way for a legal economy, describing the choice of the anniversary of the Revolution of the King and the People as “highly significant,” as it further strengthens and consolidates the symbiosis between the people and their King.
On the occasion of the anniversary of the Revolution of the King and the People, His Majesty the King granted his pardon to 4,831 individuals who had been convicted, prosecuted, or sought in cases related to cannabis cultivation and who meet the required conditions to benefit from the pardon.
