During the short-lived Republic of the Rif of 1923 to 1926, Mohammed ben Abdelkrim, who had united the Berber tribes against Spanish occupation, prohibited the growing and use of kif, which he held to be contrary to Islam. How effective the ban was is unclear. After his defeat the Spanish and French authorities allowed cultivation again, and the French set up a zone of toleration north of Fez, close to the Rif.[1]
