On Tuesday (18.09.18) the high court ( pardon the pun) made it legal to smoke and grow marijuana in your home. The Constitutional Court has deemed it unconstitutional to put a ban on the psychoactive drug.
According to a report, the court could not dispute the fact that the consumption of alcohol has caused more harm than the recreational use of cannabis.
Not long after the announcement was made, South Africans took to Twitter to share their thoughts.
WE BEEN SMOKING AND SELLING WEED. WE DON’T NEED THE COURT TO GIVE US RIGHTS #Dagga pic.twitter.com/yibYyTE3i3
