A medical introduction to the human Endocannabinoid system. After graduating with a medical degree from the University of the Witwatersrand in 2009, Marlon journeyed to Pietermaritzburg where he worked hugely demanding shifts as a junior doctor in the public health-care sector. Disillusioned by the experience, he travelled to the United States to attend his first conference on the clinical implications of the endocannabinoid system. Driven to understand the truth about medicine and alternative forms of healing, he volunteered at a depression recovery centre, a mycelium production facility, and with MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies).
Revitalized by the experience, he returned to South Africa and completed his community service as a medical officer at Fort England Hospital, a forensic psychiatric facility. Thereafter, Marlon continued with the study of drug policy, harm reduction and psychedelic research by attending numerous international conferences, forums and symposia related to his new vocation. Marlon regularly liaises with government officials, encouraging them to adopt more compassionate drug policies. In 2016, he was a member of the civil society task force at the UN General Assembly Special Session on the world drug problem in New York.
Marlon currently assists surgeons in the private sector on a freelance basis, and is a committed volunteer with organizations like Fields of Green For All, in order to continue to shape practical and utilitarian drug policies.

Julian Stobbs and Myrtle Clarke are the founders of Fields of Green for ALL, South Africa’s first Cannabis legalisation Non-Profit Company. They have made significant progress due to their well publicised High Court challenge to the constitutionality of Cannabis prohibition. Julian and Myrtle have created an extensive social activism campaign that seeks inclusive Cannabis drug policy reform, by South Africans for South Africans.
Dubbed “The Dagga Couple” by the South African media, Julian and Myrtle intend to show, through The Trial of the Plant, that the common denominator for every law ever passed banning the Cannabis plant is the lack of scientific, objective evidence to support such legislation. In order to do this, they have gone to great lengths to gather experts for the trial, many of whom are speaking at this convention.
The Dagga Couple have attended and represented South Africa at various leading international drug policy conferences and Cannabis orientated events. These include The Global Forum of Producers of Prohibited Plants, UNGASS 2016 at the United Nations in New York and, recently, Harm Reduction International in Montreal, Canada. Through their active participation in various international groups and organisations, they have a unique insight into the potential and pitfalls being experienced by other nations that are coming to grips with legal Cannabis.
Alongside their NPC and Social Activism, they also run JoinTheQ, a legal aid initiative for victims of Cannabis related arrests and prosecutions.
Together with their extensive support base, Julian and Myrtle aim to restore this, the most researched plant in history, to its rightful place as a natural, safe and economically vital part of our world.
After receiving his medical degree from the University of Cape Town, Keith Scott embarked on a career as a general practitioner in both city and rural practices in South Africa the UK, New Zealand and Botswana.
His time in Botswana coincided with the crucial years from the start through to the peak of Southern Africa’s tragic HIV/AIDS pandemic. While working at the HIV/AIDS coalface he became extremely frustrated by the lack of effective government policies to contain the pandemic in Southern Africa. The poor response to the disease was due to the denial and inertia of the Botswana Government and the wilful ignorance and obstructionism of its South African counterpart.
A few years ago he noted a strong similarity between the government’s misinformed approach to issues associated with illicit drug use and its damaging policies during the early years of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Since then he has been motivating for drug law reform based on the large body of evidence that demonstrates quite clearly how current drug laws promote organised crime and cause enormous harm to drug users and to society as a whole.
He is active in challenging policy-making bodies such as the Central Drug Authority both directly, in academic publications and via the general media. As well as giving public talks on the need for the legal regulation of illicit drugs he meets regularly with senior politicians in order to convince them of the urgent need to overhaul both national and international drug laws.
