To understand the relationship between Muslim religious attitudes and the growing/consumption of cannabis, we surveyed 251 residents and conducted interviews in Northern Morocco. The local population is Ghomarian, an ethnic group of Berber heritage that experienced socioeconomic marginalization. Cannabis is grown throughout the region, despite Islamic legal code (shari'a) that makes cannabis, like any substances that alter consciousness, illicit (haram). The survey aimed to gather (a) the perceptions of the local population toward the cultivation of cannabis and its consumption and (b) their attitudes and intention to abandon or to continue this activity despite its unlawful aspect under Islamic legislation (Shari'a). Qualitative interviews provide additional understanding of the rationales of people in the region about cannabis cultivation in the context of religion. The investigation revealed the complexity of how religious beliefs, socioeconomic marginalization, and immoral/illegal economic practices overlap and coexist in Ghomara Region (or in Northern Morocco).
为了解穆斯林宗教态度与大麻种植/消费增长之间的关系，我们在摩洛哥北部对251名居民进行了调查并开展访谈。当地居民是戈马里人，这是一个有柏柏尔血统的族群，经历过社会经济边缘化。尽管伊斯兰法典（教法）将大麻以及任何改变意识的物质都列为非法（哈拉姆），但该地区仍种植大麻。该调查旨在收集：（a）当地居民对大麻种植及其消费的看法；（b）尽管根据伊斯兰法律（教法）这一活动属于非法，但他们对放弃或继续此项活动的态度和意图。定性访谈有助于进一步理解该地区民众在宗教背景下种植大麻的理由。调查揭示了宗教信仰、社会经济边缘化以及不道德/非法经济行为在戈马拉地区（或摩洛哥北部）如何相互交织与共存的复杂性。
