Cannabis in South Africa in 2022 – January FGA Update
2022 is certainly the year for double dabs, kicking off to a great start with the 200th episode of The Hotbox Show. We thank everyone for their huge show of support!

The Hotboxshow Episode 200

Please join us in welcoming in the new year, a new season, and in raising a blunt for Jules on this pretty momentous occasion.
We'll have a jam packed episode with an interesting assortment of people to chat to including Affiliates and previous guests, both local and international.
