Mmmmmm.. I'm missing my maroc

I certainly wouldn't mind sampling such material, but I can't help to think about the tragedy of Moroccan genepool destruction through the too-many-imports of this kind of genetics, moan...
Beautifull slabs dubindam !

Very true and very sad..the last years is becoming more and more difficult to find hash from original moroccan genes..
is that true? most landrace genetics seem to be dominant in their natural habitat. you can bring in the cheese all you want, but within a few years your cheese phenos will be less and less while the landrace dominates more and more.
I tend to agree with gaiusmarius. It would take a lot of pollution over a prolonged period of time to get the traits from indoor hybrids to dominate. There's sooo much local pollen flying around that it would be hard for the foreign pollen to make any real impact.
But... If hybrids continue to be introduced on a large scale year after year then it may well change the local genes for good. It all depends on whether there might be a dominant foreign gene which takes a hold and shows generation after generation.
I'm all for keeping cannabis hot spots pure the world over. I think it would be a great shame to lose the building blocks that have made what we have today.
Hey there! new to the forums and stuff and found this thread with some nice pictures in indeed!
here's a little enjoy
Close up of Maroccan/Pakistani - Pakistani dominated. Stamp was "Polo"
Sorry for the bad quality pictures, took them with a cell phone. Cheers!
hey:
i´ve just scored some stamped "POLO" hash pieces. NIce hash, but i consider it just a mix paki-maroc-whatever...or a very fine moroccan one...Definitely i like it so much.
Those look a taste ones...I havent tried the so-called blueberry maroc yet, but i´ve already tested cheese-maroc and amnesia-maroc (the best i´ve tried recently, superior to the other ones imho). The amnesia i posted some pages before was a luxury hash... Really well made with a tremendous high. Both worth every cent you spent in.
As I also pointed out in other threads, we´re living the decline of the pure moroccan good hashish.
I wrote this in one of the Mriko´s hashish threads:
"Nonetheless, i´d like to add a couple of things. In relation to the Paki hash made in Maroc, the firts time i saw it was in 2002 (in Madriz). That same year we moved down to Maroc and got some nice so-called Pakistani. I´m almost sure the very first time they obtanied a big harvest of moroccan Pakistani was in 2000 or 2001. Since then, the quality of that hash (the so called paki-maroc) is decreasing year after year...But nowadays some small quantities of Mexicana, Pakistana, Jamaicana made in morocco are been smuggled into Spain and Europe...but also mixed with moroccan traditional genetics...so, the most different thing coming from there right now is named as Jardin or Jardallah or Jardullah, which are simply mixed dust from very differents plant, all of them crossed with the Kiffi traditional plant during this last 10 years. Consequently, and always talking from my experience, we (consumers) are in a worst situation to score some nice pure moroccan hashish from El Moro compared to 10 or 20 years back."
I guess it depends on different factors, one being the local population. Is it wild ? cultivated ? both ? In places such as Parvati, the effect of foreign introduction are limited, both in time & space because of the huge jungli population, which the locals use to refresh the genetics of their begij plants (but it doesn't mean it's a good idea to import foreign commercial genetics up there).
On the contrary, well, i've not been there yet, so correct me if I'm wrong, but there's no wild population in the Rif, maybe some feral, or if so, nothing close to what one can find in the Himalaya. It's all cultivated, probably coming from a long-time-established and geographically reduced genepool. There's no plant in the wild to ensure the survival of local genepool. This is my own personnal view here, but I think that Moroccan kiff wasn't introduced by the Arab conquest, and was much earlier than that. Maybe linked to Cartago, or even older. These are "ancient" genetics which had survived centuries, if not millenia of Human History, maybe has been part of the said History and it's all going to oblivion.
First introduction wre done in the 80s, with mostly tropical & equatorial sativas being tested and it didn't went far. But since the start of this millenia, things are different. From Pakistan to Mexico, from Bluebrry to Cheese and Kashmir and what not.
As mentioned in Rubio's post, genuine Moroccan made exclusively from local Kif plants has become a rarity. Now it's all Pakistana, and mixes and commercial strains. Terrible, it's just terrible.
Another terrible effect of prohibition; lack of awareness, making people believe that what they have is lead when they actually have pure gold.
Is Berber's Kif under threat of extinction ? If not yet, then it might be so before the end of this decade.
Still, there's hope of unadulterated genetics surviving in the Algerian mountains, but most especially in Tunisia, where takrouri seems to have resisted the foreign invasion. For how long...?
Irie !
Sup bros!
Very interesting input mriko, and i totally agree with yo about such question. The density of "jungle population" is the main difference between Parvati (India) and the Riff (Maroc).
One time I read that the traditional moroccan plant (known there as Kiff or Kiffi) came from the same line of Lebanese/Turkish cannabis plants. The differences between both lines could be explained by lil varitions on the environment (over a long time period, like maybe hundreds of years) Not sure if it was in 16th century, or in the arab conquest or even before during Cartago when cannabis was introduced into Morocco.
Ill try to relocate the quotation as soon as i arrive home. Cannot remember clearly in which book i´ve read it, but i´m almost sure. ill check it up later
I´ve just look it up on internet, but i´ve only found out this study: "Cultivation of Cannabis sativa L. in northern Morocco" (2007). This document come from United Nations, so it could be a lil biased. (im re-reading the report and it states cannabis is cultivated in Central Riff since 7th century).
Take a look dudes:
http://www.unodc.org/pdf/research/Bulletin07/Bulletin_on_narcotics_2007_Stambouli.pdf
Anyway it is accepted that moroccans started to shift their plants to make hash in the 60s. Ancient and old people there in Maroc usually smoke what the also called kiffi (which actually is a mix of dried flowers, leafs and stems with the local tobacco called taba).
I post again this little sample of the amnesia-moroccan hash i grabbed some months ago
It was nice, clean, soft and with a powerful strong psychodelic high. However, it was really expensive (more than 10€/g) and diff to find in big quantities.
To sum up, i miss very much those blonde soft polm of moroccan genetics, which you can be smoking it all day long without feeling that strong couchlocks...Those malleable hashish which let you relaxed all day and with a clear mind afterall...
SALAM!

A good post there mriko,
lots of information I didn't know about Moroccan cultivation. I agree with you totally, It's tragic that these foreign genes are being introduced if there isn't the predominance of a local wild variety etc...
