Cape Cannabis March

Scores of protesters took to the streets of Cape Town on Saturday 4th of May 2013, to demand dagga be legalised.

The cannabis march aimed to raise awareness of the benefits of dagga.

Marchers also want government to recognise the potential legalising the drug would have for the economy.

Durban - In the end it wasn’t worth it. Growing dagga in a secret laboratory in a house in Durban North might have seemed like easy money, but it now means two schoolchildren will grow up without their mother, who was one of those sent to jail for eight years on Friday.

The five Durban North dagga dealers, who brought several court applications to delay sentencing, were led from court to the cells, and then taken to Westville prison, after they were handed lengthy jail terms in the Durban Magistrate’s Court.

Tracy-Anne Pretorius, her boyfriend Tyronne Hofland, and their co-accused Travis Bailey, Bonzile Chutshela and Senzele Dlezi, were convicted in November 2011 of drug dealing after a raid at Pretorius’s Durban North home, where 44kg of dagga worth an estimated R2.2 million was being cultivated in a laboratory in a concealed basement.

In a lengthy judgment, magistrate Najama Kathrada said the five had shown little or no remorse, and Bailey, Hofland and Pretorius had been the “main offenders”, while Chutshela and Dlezi had been employed as workers.

She sentenced Bailey, Hofland and Pretorius to eight years in prison, and Chutshela and Dlezi to five years each.

Quoting case law in which lengthy sentences were given to drug dealers, Kathrada said that the crime had to be viewed in a “serious light”.

For the legal love of weed

HUNDREDS of people from across the city are expected to take to the streets next week to promote “solidarity” among dagga users.

Organised by the National Organisation for the Reform of Matekwane Laws in South Africa, NORMLZA and Iqela Lentsango: The Dagga Party of South Africa, the Cape Town Global Cannabis March on Saturday 4 May will be attended by those who support the legalisation of the plant as an “economic resource for public benefit”.

Jeremy Acton, the leader of the Dagga Party which is registered for the 2014 national elections, says participants will be celebrating their diversity, unity and mutual respect for each other and the herb.

The party’s newsletter, The Daggablad, says dagga was one of the many traditional smokes used by Africans before the advent of the Dutch and British empires.

It was also a source of fibres and the seeds were a valuable source of human nutrition.

Dagga was first outlawed in South Africa in 1911.

“If one views the police’s dagga prosecution statistics, it is clear that dagga use is a very common practice and should be regarded as a legitimate historical cultural practice among citizens which should be respected by narcotics laws and by the Bill of Rights of our Constitution,” the newsletter reads.

420 DDay

This Saturday at 4:20 pm, wherever you are in the world, people will be sparking up to celebrate an unofficial holiday and a plant. South Africa is no different, and Johannesburg will play host to its first ever 420 Dagga Day. Don’t be fooled, the 20^th of April is about more than just smoking Dagga. The day is centered around the education and celebration of Dagga and its many uses. The aim is to gather people from different walks of life, with different uses and experiences of the plant, to share their stories and to raise awareness.

Why 4/20?

The date has long been associated with smoking dagga, and has been celebrated and mythologized in the weed culture for decades on a global scale. The true story behind it takes us back to the 1970’s and California. A group of friends at high school known as San Rafael was the location, and 4:20pm was the time a group of friends would get together to search for an abandoned dagga crop they’d heard about, it’s as simple as that. Over time the catch phrase “420” caught on and spread to different groups of people around California, the United States and eventually the world.

Today, 420 has become a catch phrase not to warn fellow stoners about the police, or to refer to a specific type of dagga or method of smoking it, but rather as a code word to say “Hey guys, it’s time to smoke” without having to actually say it, and whether its 4:20pm or not. How great! Just by coining the phrase people become telepathic.
