Morocco Reaches 161 Legal Cannabis Products; Medicines Still Wait

The number has risen fast. ANRAC's director general gave the count as 109 in January 2026 (Le360), and the July figures put it at 161 by mid-July: 71 food supplements, 73 cosmetics and 17 foods, mainly herbal teas, according to Hespress and Le Cannabiste. Another 14 supplements and 6 cosmetics were awaiting approval, Le Cannabiste reported.

Why it matters to buyers

These products are the only cannabis items a consumer can legally buy in Morocco. They are sold through ANRAC's published network of pharmacies, parapharmacies and a few dedicated stores; the list had 630 entries when Verdex checked in September 2026, 70 of them wholesalers. Supplements and foods are capped at 0.3% THC and cosmetics must contain none, according to Hespress and Le Cannabiste.

The medicines gap

One cannabis-derived medicine has been authorized but is held up by administrative steps, and a second is still in registration, Hespress and Le Cannabiste reported. ANRAC and the medicines agency AMMPS announced a protocol on registration procedures on March 16, 2026, and in June ANRAC said prescribing by doctors would take training, protocols and national data.
