Much Do You Know About
Cannabis?
Cannabis
has, to a degree, been
decriminalised in South Africa
since September 2018. Although
this doesn’t technically mean
that cannabis is legal, it
does mean that it is no longer
a criminal offence for adults
to grow and consume cannabis
in their private spaces, for
their own personal use.
