On 1st December 2025, we published a Harm Reduction Guide for Dagga Private Clubs that basically collated all the information that is already available on our website into one readily available, easy-to-use document

This Harm Reduction Guide is freely available for download by DPC Member Clubs.

We can all do our part in reducing the harms caused by prohibition, as well as reducing the risks of Cannabis use through education, safe practices, and community care. Both are essential. Get the whole guide by signing up your club with us today.

There are six important documents highlighted in the Harm Reduction Guide that we highly recommend printing out and having on hand when running your DPC.

One of these documents is the 2018 Privacy Judgment.

Why:
This is the landmark Constitutional Court ruling that the prohibition of the private possession, use, and cultivation of Cannabis by adults, within private spaces, is unconstitutional. It affirms that “privacy” includes more than just your home — it extends to any private space, including your car, pockets, and bags. Having this printed copy on site serves as the foundation of your legal position. Despite “trade” still being against the law, you are exercising your constitutional rights, not running an “illegal business”.

Key points to highlight:
Sections 85 & 86 (page 50):
The right to privacy extends beyond the home, into private spaces where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy.

Section 100 (page 55):
Privacy includes a person’s body, and by implication, their pockets and clothing.

Section 105 (page 57):
Privacy protects individuals against unwanted intrusions into their private domain, including possessions.

Section 108 (page 58):
Cars and other personal spaces may qualify as private if access is controlled by the individual.

Section 111 (page 59):
The right to privacy applies to places and spaces beyond the home, provided the context is private and not public.

Bottom line:
Your club (which has access control and only adult members are admitted), car, pockets, and bags fall under constitutionally protected private spaces.  SAPS cannot treat the above as “public domains”.
