So how's Morocco for a westen stoner?

Hi gang,
It is time to start planning my winter/spring vacation and I have a question for y'all: Morocco?
I usually fly in February/March because it is the cheapest time of year to do so. I also usually go to Amsterdam. This year I am thinking about some other place for two reasons. 1.) I have been to Amsterdam a lot; I love it, but I am ready for something new, and 2.) Europe is godawful expensive for Americans (that's me) right now. According to Google, today 1 Euro = 1.4646 U.S. dollars. That exchange isn't going to get better any time soon.
So I am seriously entertaining thoughts of going to Morocco. I know a lot of people think it's dangerous, but I hear that's not at all the case, as long as you stick to the more modern Arab cities. Out in the country/mountains the Berbers are much more laid back about everything and western travelers/stoners/hippies abound. I also hear that in the north part of the country the hash is fantastic and $1/gr. FYI, I love couscous et ausi, je parle un peu francais, mais tres mal.
So waddaya think? Does anyone in this Community have first hand experience traveling to Morocco? Can you confirm or deny these rumors? If so I want to hear about it, the good and the bad.
Thanks, SB

I've been planning on taking the train down there one day soon. I just don't know too much about it. I know enough that it sounds like it might be fun. I don't know anything about it being dangerous. I seek shroomery help as well.

My friend went - she loved it. Nothing dodgy happened to her.
Said there were people selling the most kick ass hash everywhere.

Watch your back, some muslims are a bit crafty. Bring me back some hash please. A lot of it.

Super maroc is where it's at! I'd suggest going during the harvest season, buy some butane, and show them the joy of honey oil.

Liz went to Morrocco last year. You should PM her and ask her what she thinks. I'll try and find the thread.

A couple of my friends have been there, and I've only heard good things about Marocco so far. Watch out from them unlicensed tourist guides and Moroccan McDonald's, and learn to bargain. Also: http://thorntree.lonelyplanet.com/categories.cfm?catid=9&iCountryId=35
