We have to stand up against this unjust system. If they can change laws for murderers, surely it must be the same with cannabis. As we’re approaching the festive season and there’s a focus on alcohol induced accidents, nothing on cannabis. Clearly cannabis is not the cause of deaths let alone the accidents! Let’s stand up for our rights!

Good day, you Awesome FOGFA Team!
This case has caught my attention – it is BIG and the outcome potentially affects every SA citizen. I don’t think enough people understand the gravity of the situation. I work in corporate & the internal bylaws are ridiculous regarding cannabis – very infuriating but we adapt.
I wish Bernadette all the best with this trial and I sincerely hope she comes out with a resounding victory. I will definitely look into some ways to support the fundraising.
Keep blazing & stay amazing FOGFA Team,
Best Regards,
Keshan Govender
