Weed. In September this year, the Constitutional Court of South Africa, the country’s highest court, on Tuesday morning ruled that the personal use of cannabis is not a criminal offence. In a unanimous decision, the court ruled that the ban on private possession and consumption, and cultivation of the plant for own use is unconstitutional. It found that the country’s cannabis ban infringed on section 14 of the South African constitution which gives all citizens the right to privacy. This has far reaching implications for ordinary citizens and entrepreneurs alike. The decriminalised global weed industry is forecast to run into the billions of dollars, but what are your rights in this space and immediate opportunities for entrepreneurs? To get the answer I reached out Julian Stobbs and Myrtle Clarke AKA the Dagga couple and Paul-Michael Keichel from Schindlers Attorneys. We discuss the 8 year legal battle of Julian and Myrtle with the South African government, their personal case instrumental in the lead up to the landmark ruling by the constitutional court and whose case was spearheaded by Paul-Michael at Schindlers, and we explore the far reaching local and global ramifications for a burgeoning weed industry that is set to take the world by storm.
