Last week the South African cannabis and hemp conversation moved on two tracks at once. On one track, police operations generated fresh headlines and widely shared posts — hydroponic laboratories dismantled, multi-million-rand consignments seized, foreign nationals arrested. On the other, the slower work of building something different continued: young teams developing local hemp seed and […]
In 2010, Myrtle Clarke and Julian “Jules” Stobbs were raided at their home on the outskirts of Johannesburg and arrested for possession and dealing in dagga.

In recent weeks the Drug Enforcement Administration released the full transcript of its administrative hearing on the Trump administration’s proposal to […]
In the long, winding story of cannabis reform in South Africa, some names become landmarks. Gareth Prince is one of them. His years of persistence helped deliver the 2018 Constitutional Court judgment that finally recognised the right of adults to cultivate and use cannabis in private. That victory changed the legal landscape forever. Yet the […]
