Private Use Of Marijuana Legalised In South Africa by Orevastar5(m): 12:49pm On Sep 18, 2018
South Africa’s Constitutional Court decriminalised the private use of marijuana on Tuesday.

The ruling came after a provincial high court in 2017 found out that the use of cannabis in private space should be allowed because laws against it were inconsistent with the country’s constitution.

The state appealed to the Constitutional Court, which upheld the high court’s findings.



“It will not be a criminal offence for an adult person to use or be in possession of cannabis in private space,’’ Judge Raymond Zondo said in handing down the judgement.

Good development kiss

Till date weed has never killed anyone. It’s just a harmless herb.

I encourage the law to legalize the use of marijuana for recreational purposes.


Nigeria is next.

Re: Private Use Of Marijuana Legalised In South Africa by DELTACHAINSMOKER: 3:21pm On Sep 18, 2018
I think people need to be
educated to the fact that
marijuana is not a drug.
Marijuana is a plant, a herb and a
flower. God put it here. If He
put it here, he wants it to grow, he wants us to use it. What gives the
gov'ment the right to say God is wrong?


The illegality of marijuana is an insult to God's own creation.

It is something that grows naturally on our planet. Making marijuana illegal is unnatural!
Marijuana is made on earth, God made it for a reason so we can take it, feel good and take the pain away.

Alcohol, tobacco. They kill faster than a bullet but they are legal. Valium, prozac all that stuff are all legal. Go to a doctor, get it and overdose on it.

So why my beautiful maryjane? Why did they choose to pick on mj.

Maryjane has done nobody no wrong.

Maryjane is the most beautiful thing that ever happened to me.

Up marijuana!!! I love you mj.


I smoke marijuana everyday and it has never ever done me wrong.

A sane society unlike this hypocritical satanic hell hole called Nigeria..

There's is nothing wrong taking marijuana you can go study and check the internet, absolutely nothing wrong.. in fact it's of health and mental benefit to consume it..

But a stupid and backward country like Nigeria will say it's bad where as they ignore the real danger of the country..

It's a curse to be living among retarded idiots and bunch of fanatics mugus whose only aim is to be you as thugs for politicians that ruined their lives,or join and wallow in criminal acts..

Check your stats your country is a disgrace even to Africa
