The cannabis sector, and marijuana users, can finally grow and get high in peace after President Ramaphosa has signed the Cannabis for Private Purposes Act into law. This means adults who use, consume or possess cannabis for their personal consumption are no longer at risk of prosecution.
However, the law doesn't mean you can open your pot-spaza shop. Dealing in cannabis remains prohibited and adults found guilty of buying or selling cannabis for payment/reward may be sentenced to a fine and/or imprisonment of up to 10 years. For their own usage, adults may possess cannabis in a public place, although they may not use it publicly. Nor may they use it near children or where the smoke is likely to cause a disturbance or nuisance to others.
