Botswana has moved from near-total prohibition toward a regulated medicinal, scientific, research and industrial cannabis framework. The Cannabis Act 2025 established the legal basis.

In early September 2026 a BusinessTech headline captured public attention: draft regulations under the Cannabis for Private Purposes Act could allow adults to possess up to 750 grams of cannabis — roughly 1,500 standard joints. The number is memorable. It is also only one piece of a much larger, still-unfinished picture. Eight years after the […]

It comes from a simple calculation: draft regulations under the Cannabis for Private Purposes Act propose a possession limit of 750 grams of […]
In early September 2026, veteran health journalist Marika Sboros published a pointed intervention on BizNews: “Food is medicine, but SAHPRA treats it like a drug. Illegally.” The piece lands at a moment when South Africa’s health-products regulator is under renewed scrutiny for how it draws — or fails to draw — the line between ordinary […]
In 2018 the Constitutional Court handed down a unanimous judgment that changed the legal status of cannabis in South Africa. Adults could cultivate and use the plant in private without fear of criminal sanction.
