Cannabis disappeared off Parliament’s agenda today and the scheduled Portfolio Committee meeting dealt with other matters. Cannabiz Africa understands State lawyers have been given more time on the understanding that they take more serious account of private stakeholder submissions. The knock-on effect, given the processes of the Legislature and the political distraction of next year’s elections, is that there is a strong likelihood that South Africa won’t see any meaningful cannabis legislation enacted this year. And maybe not even next. Unless the Justice Department has a “Halleluljah” moment.
