Egyptian cannabis smokers are up in arms over a hashish shortage in the north African country, according to local newspaper Al Masry Al Youm.
According to official reports, hashish is used by about 7 million people in Egypt including 12 percent of school and university students.
Total spendings of Egyptians on hashish purchased from smugglers amounts up to more than eight billion Egyptian pounds; about 5% of Egypt’s public revenue.
