The ways in which to honour the memory, work and dedication of Jules Stobbs, are endless. However, Green Smoke Room Seeds has found a way to do this. We all know that Jules was passionate about Cannabis and the endless possibilities that the plant can offer us. In his memory, we
Our activist friends at the International Drug Policy Consortium released a striking infographic this week on how to responsibly regulate Dagga. We realised this would be the perfect measuring stick for the current proposed Bill, so we took a closer look to see if it compares to our proposed legislation model. When it
As it becomes more and more apparent that the law makers are not planning on doing the research needed for fair and reasonable policy reform when it comes to Cannabis, the more South Africans are realising that it is time to take matters into our own hands. Dagga Private Clubs are
Whether in South Africa or elsewhere, Cannabis prohibition has turned users, growers and traders into criminals in the eyes of the law. Where there is demand for Cannabis, or anything for that matter, there will always be supply, as well as people risking everything to fill this need. It also means

This article about Cannabis testing in the workplace was originally published on 30 Jun 2017 and was updated on 28 June 2020.
