Cape High Court Rules Dagga is Legal Our team at Medical Cannabis Oil is very excited about the recent legal development in which the Western Cape High Court, made a landmark ruling in which they declared that its an infringement of a persons right to ban the use of dagga and its derivatives being used by adults in the privacy of their own homes. The recent ruling of the High Court, now allows for the possession, cultivation and use of cannabis at home for private use. The court also ruled that Parliament has 24 months to make certain changes to sections of the Drug Trafficking Act as well as the Medicines Control Act.   The successful application to decriminalise cannabis was driven by Dagga Party leader Jeremy Acton and Rastafarian Garreth Prince who argued on December 13 and 14 last year for the decriminalisation of the herb.

When all the litigation is completed, then the Constitutional Court must confirm the judgement and then Parliament is then required to fix the issues that have been found to be unconstitutional. There are a number of ways in which this can be done, we will explore some […]
