Our Twitter followers seem to be growing at quite a pace. Thanks for all the follows and well wishes! We could not have done it without the incredible support that we received from you, the People of South Africa! Now please get planting those seeds and let’s overgrow our country

I’m disappointed the Constitutional Court has decriminalized the private possession, consumption & cultivation of dagga at home. SA already has a serious drug problem -many users eventually seek stronger drugs & are engaged in crime. The #DaggaDecision will make the problem worse
