Following in the footsteps of western colonies that have legalized the controlled use of supposed recreational psychoactive, South Africa makes a huge statement for Africa.


In the west, Africa is perceived non-progressive and conservative, but South Africa might be on the verge of further changing that narrative.

First, South Africa was the fifth country — the first (and only, as of August 2017) in Africa, the first in the southern hemisphere, the first republic — and the second outside Europe to legalize same-sex marriage through its Civil Union Act of 2006. Now, it has taken a step towards legalizing the use of Marijuana.

South Africa’s apex court unanimously upheld a ruling from a lower court and called banning of the drug, “unconstitutional and therefore invalid,” following in the steps of Lesotho and Zimbabwe which both legalized cannabis for medical use.

The right is however only available to adults — presumably over 18-years old — to also grow cannabis.
