Gone are the days of dodging police vans when you hear a siren and scoring “tarri” or “majat” from the corner rastas on Buitenkant! Stoned citizens of Cape Town and the East City can now safely and legally get their desired stash from the licensed and reputable dagga dispensaries that opened shop in the District Six area.
Since when is dagga legal in South Africa?
Cannabis in South Africa has been decriminalised by the country’s constitutional court for personal use by adults in private. The country is moving towards fully legalising Cannabis in the near future. It seems cannabis is posed to become a major South African export. This has led to a large variety of Weed Clubs, Dispensaries, and health stores selling dagga to the public. However, there are still many uncertainties, ambiguities, and myths as far as the law is concerned.
Nonetheless, we are ecstatic to see more and more cannabis dispensaries opening around town, bringing every type of cannabis-infused product imaginable to cannabis enthusiasts, including flower, pre-rolled joints, single-use vape pens, edibles, drinkables, tinctures, balms, and so much more.
