Delta-8-THC in Morocco: not individually verified

Also known as: d8

Not individually verified

We have not confirmed that Delta-8-THC specifically is scheduled in Morocco, so this page gives no legal status. Publishing a guess here would be worse than publishing nothing. What we do know is the governing national drug law, below.

What is on record: Not confirmed. The 1971 Convention tableaux as published by dahir 1-80-140 and printed at Bulletin officiel 3590 of 19 August 1981, page 404, carry « tétrahydrocannabinols, tous les isomères », tetrahydrocannabinols, all the isomers, in the 1971 Convention tableau I as printed in 1981. That is a treaty schedule and not a Moroccan criminal schedule. Dahir 1-80-140 is a publication dahir; the offences of dahir portant loi 1-73-282 of 21 May 1974 attach to substances classified as narcotics and inscribed in tableau B of the dahir of 2 December 1922, and that tableau was read on 3 October 2026 as abrogated and replaced by arrêté n° 1850-96 of 3 September 1996, Bulletin officiel 4422, pages 713 to 716. Delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol is in no named entry of that tableau B, which carries « Cannabis (chanvre indien) et résine de cannabis », « DMHP » and « Parahexyl » but no tetrahydrocannabinol entry and no isomer clause for one; whether a delta-8 product made from hemp or from cannabidiol is reached by the cannabis entry was not established. The isomer clauses of that tableau B attach only to the substances named in Annexe I, and an OCR text of tableaux A and C of 1966 returns no tetrahydrocannabinol entry. So the Convention placement is established and the domestic classification is not. Entry 10 is the only generic clause in the 1971 Convention table as printed in 1981, and delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol is squarely inside it: it is a positional isomer of delta-9 and shares the formula the chemical column describes, « hydroxy-1 pentyl-3 tétrahydro-6a,7,10,10a triméthyl 6,6,9 6H-dibenzo [b,d] pyranne ». No named delta-8 entry exists; the row rests on the isomer clause.

Confirm directly with Morocco’s national drug authority or your own embassy before you rely on anything.

What Morocco HAS confirmed for related substances

Cannabis / THCa related compound, not Delta-8-THC
Controlled as a narcotic. The dahir of 2 December 1922 on substances vénéneuses prints « Haschich et ses préparations », hashish and its preparations, in tableau B, as annexed in 1922 in the ONSSA consolidated text read on 22 September 2026, and article 1 of that dahir as modified on 17 March 1953 provides that substances are inscribed in sections I and II of tableaux A, B and C by arrêté, an arrêté not read for this cell. Tableau B names the resin form. The plant is reached by the separate dahir of 20 chaabane 1373 (24 April 1954) prohibiting chanvre à kif, whose article 5 was replaced by article 14 of the 1974 dahir so that its offences carry the 1974 penalties. That 1954 dahir is named in both the 1974 dahir and Law 13-21 but was not itself read for this cell, so the plant limb rests on those two references rather than on its own text.

Synthetic Cannabinoids (K2 / Spice)a related compound, not Delta-8-THC
Controlled only through a component, and the label itself resolves to no single answer. Synthetic cannabinoid is a class label covering hundreds of compounds and Moroccan law does not use it. The one generic clause that exists is narrower than the label. Tableau I of the 1971 Convention as printed in 1981 reaches tetrahydrocannabinols and all their isomers, which catches nothing in the JWH, AM, AB-FUBINACA or MDMB families, because an indazole carboxamide is not an isomer of a tetrahydrocannabinol. No named synthetic cannabinoid appears in any of the four instruments, and in any event a Convention schedule published by a publication dahir is not a domestic criminal schedule.
