Cannabis is legal in South Africa. But what’s the catch?

Cannabis is legal in South Africa. But what’s the catch? On September 18th the constitutional court changed its laws around Cannabis in South Africa. In this seismic law shift it is now legal for adults to grow and use Cannabis, locally known as Dagga, in the country. 

So what now?

Cannabis is legal in South Africa. Well this means that you can legally consume Dagga, however here’s the catch: it is not legal to sell or buy weed, so it is only legal if you grow your own at home for recreational use. The bonus is; you can let your green thumbs go wild, it’s all guilt free growing from here on out.

How do I grow my own Cannabis plants?

Grow Guru* has taken the hard work out of keeping yourself in constant supply of Dagga for recreational use with its easy to use home set up systems. They take the think work out of growing and maintaining a crop, and ensure great yields that will easily keep you in constant supply.
There are two ways to grow Cannabis, outdoor (let nature run its course), or indoor in a hydroponic system (controlled with clear outcomes).

Where do I get seeds from?

You can buy seeds locally or internationally. As the growing of Dagga has been legal overseas for longer, the cannabis seed banks are more accurate and the results more predictable.
Attitude Seed Bank is one of the more reliable cannabis seed banks in the world. We recommend you have a browse for yourself.
They are based in the UK and ship to South Africa the next day. Unfortunately once your parcel hits SAPO  the process slows down, and will take around 2-3weeks to get to your nearest Post Office branch. However eventually it will arrive.
