The Constitutional Court in South Africa has decriminalised the private use of dagga. The Court handed down the historic judgment Tuesday morning, confirming the ruling of another court ruled that it was legal for South Africans to grow a little weed – better known locally as dagga – for personal use. Last year in March, Justice Dennis Davis handed down a judgment in the Western Cape High Court that declared sections of the Drugs and Drug Trafficking Act invalid and unconstitutional. The application was brought by Rastafarian lawyer Gareth Prince, an advocate for the decriminalisation of marijuana. Prince argued that the criminalisation of dagga use and possession was a violation of the right to equality, dignity, and freedom of religion. Justice Davis suspended the order of invalidity on the use of cannabis until it could be confirmed by the Constitutional Court. However, today the Concourt agreed with Justice Davies and decriminalised the private use of marijuana.
