Egyptians have been suffering lately from lack of bread, fuel, and bottled gas for cooking. But lately they have been hit by a more severe crisis, which is the lack of the narcotic Hashish (cannabis). Although weed, and drugs in general, are prohibited by the Egyptian law, it seems that is has been widely used all over the country, and such a crisis is effecting many people. Wahda Masreya, wrote here about the hash crisis and how she thinks it's really effecting the Egyptian citizens: She then described why people smoke weed, and how it is common among different classes and communities. She writes: She ended her post saying: Whazzup Egypt, on the other hand, refused calling the issue a crisis, and wrote a new post in her blog commenting on Max Strasser's article in TheFasterTimes where he called it “Egypt’s Great Hash Crisis of 2010“. Finally, the crisis was surprisingly discussed openly in main stream media, and many Egyptians made use of online web forums to market the hash they own.
