on Moroccan soil, clearly over the border. I now suspect he hadn't under-
stood a word I had said (my French is rather spotty), and would never
have passed me if he had. Very few long-hairs ask to have their Moroccan
entry stamps invalidated.
While waiting for my English companions on the other side of the
border, I noticed a grey Volkswagen with Danish license plates waiting
on the Ceuta side. I later learned that the six inhabitants had been
sitting there for over an hour trying to decide whether to submit to hair-
cuts. They had driven the length of Europe to come to Morocco and only
one of them finally relented to the scissors. The rest d r o v e back, pre-
sumably to where they'd come from.
Why do travelers with long hair go to such lengths to avoid haircuts?
Some say its "the principle of the thing," which may actually be stub-
borness, pride or rebellion. Another is the very practical fact that a good
head of hair often takes months and years to grow, and many don't
consider a few days in any country worth the sacrifice. But the most
important reason seems to be the extent to which long hair has become
a unifying factor, a symbol of identity, to youthful travelers all over the
world.
Long-hairs soon learn that. they can usually depend on each other when
they're on the road or need a place to sleep or eat, and although their
appearance undoubtedly costs some rides while hitchhiking, it invariably
leads to others. Long hair is not always a good clue to beliefs or character
and it may or may not mean the person digs drugs, but it generally indi-
cates a certain life-style different from those who travel first class and who
might not appreciate the beauties of crashing on a beach or having a
drink with the locals instead of in the Hilton bar.
The rub
What does Morocco hope to gain from its crackdown on hair? Most
of the victims, both American and European, seem convinced that the
United States government is behind it, hoping it will decrease the drug
traffic to the States. America has volunteered notably little help to
any of its citizens involved in a drug case in a foreign country. In
Spain and Morocco alone several hundred Americans are now serving long
prison terms on drug charges, and conditions in both countries' jails are
often abominable. And though Morocco is busy arresting Americans and
Europeans for possession of hashish and kif, its own citizens smoke them
openly, I saw both drugs smoked in sidewalk cafes, even on sidewalks, by
Moroccans in Tangier and Marrakech, with no apparent fear of the
police. And I have seen long-haired Americans arrested and jailed merely
on "suspicion" of possession - that is, because they had long hair.
Morocco's drug crackdown seems aimed almost entirely at "undesirable"
foreigners, and not its own citizens - who apparently use drugs as cas-
ually as Americans drinkalcohol in our culture.
But the long-hairs also have their methods of retribution. As one
sheared man said at the border: "I sure fooled them. They may not know
it, but with short hair I can smoke just as much dope as I could with long.
In fact, in memory of my hair, I plan to smoke twice as much."
