  • Investing in Cannabis in South Africa
    Investing in Cannabis in South Africa March 2021 an inspiring place to do business To what extent has cannabis been legalised in South Africa? Various separate events have influenced the legality of cannabis in South Africa since 2017. • In 2017, the Department of Health introduced a licencing framework for the domestic cultivation and manu- facture of medicinal cannabis. • In 2018, the Constitutional Court of South Africa decriminalised private use and cultivation of cannabis based on the right to privacy. • In 2019, the Minister of Health rescheduled cannabidiol (CBD), and temporarily (for up to one year) excluded certain preparations containing CBD from the operation of the Schedules to the Medicines and Related Substances Act. • In 2020, • The Minister of Health confirmed the exclusion of certain CBD-containing products permanently from Schedule 4, however with certain differences from the 2019 exclusion. CBD is thus listed as Schedule 4, while exempt CBD products are regulated as Schedule 0. • Cannabis, dronabinol and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are no longer listed as Schedule 7. • THC is rescheduled and is now listed as Schedule 6, with certain exceptions. • In 2020, the Department of Justice and Correctional Services introduced the Draft Cannabis for Private Purposes Bill for comment. The purpose of this bill is to give effect to the Constitutional Court judgement of 2018. 1. Cannabis 1.1. What is cannabis? Cannabis is made from the dried flowering heads and leaves of a plant called Cannabis sativa. Cannabis contains a complex mix of approximately 60 unique ‘cannabinoids’ along with many other chemical compounds. The main active ingredient responsible for the ‘high’ produced by cannabis is delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

  • Paterson Title
    Prohibition & Resistance: A Socio-Political Exploration of the Changing Dynamics of the Southern African Cannabis Trade, c. 1850 – the present. A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History at Rhodes University By Craig Paterson December 2009 Abstract Looking primarily at the social and political trends in South Africa over the course of the last century and a half, this thesis explores how these trends have contributed to the establishment of the southern Africa cannabis complex. Through an examination of the influence which the colonial paradigm based on Social Darwinian thinking had on the understanding of the cannabis plant in southern Africa, it is argued that cannabis prohibition and apartheid laws rested on the same ideological foundation. This thesis goes on to argue that the dynamics of cannabis production and trade can be understood in terms of the interplay between the two themes of ‘prohibition’ and ‘resistance’. Prohibition is not only understood to refer to cannabis laws, but also to the proscription of inter-racial contact and segregation dictated by the apartheid regime. Resistance, then, refers to both resistance to apartheid and resistance to cannabis laws in this thesis. Including discussions on the hippie movement and development of the world trade, the anti-apartheid movement, the successful implementation of import substitution strategies in Europe and North America from the 1980’s, and South Africa’s incorporation into the global trade, this thesis illustrates how the apartheid system (and its collapse) influenced the region’s cannabis trade. Keywords: anti-apartheid movement, apartheid, colonialism, cannabis prohibition, cannabis trade, dagga, hippie movement, southern African cannabis complex Table of Contents Introduction and Overview………………………………………………………………p.
