The Moroccan coast guards have seized on Thursday over four tons of cannabis from go-fast boats near the northern city of Assila.

The operation came after a long race pursuit of three go-fast boats, said the Moroccan National Radio on Friday without further details.

Despite efforts in the past decade to crack down on cannabis farming, Morocco remains the world’s largest producer of cannabis resin.

According to the United Nations Office on Drug and Crime’s World Drug Report 2016, Morocco ranked first among 129 countries in terms of cannabis production over the period 2009-2014, followed by Afghanistan, Lebanon, India and Pakistan.
