The Dagga couple sheds light on toking laws in SA
Updated | By Boledi Makofane
On 31 March 2017, Justice Dennis Davis handed down a judgment in the Western Cape High Court that declared sections of the Drugs and Drug Trafficking Act, 1992 invalid and unconstitutional.
The Dagga Couple are preparing a case to apply for the opportunity to ask some very simple questions in the highest court in South Africa, The Constitutional Court.
They want to know how this plant has lead to the persecution of so many people in many countries for such a long time.

They propose that the law prohibiting the use of Dagga in South Africa is based on propaganda and hearsay, based on protecting the industries that benefit from its prohibition, and not based on protecting its citizens.
