South African law

In 2018 the Constitutional Court ruled that adults may use, possess and grow cannabis in private for their own consumption. The Cannabis for Private Purposes Act was signed in 2024 to put that ruling into legislation, and comes into operation on a date still to be proclaimed. The ruling and the Act deal with private use, possession and cultivation by adults; they do not set up a licensed retail market for cannabis, and the law in this area is still developing.
