Cannabis in South Africa

During 2024, the South African legal cannabis market continued to develop, following enactment of the Cannabis for Private Purposes Act, which codified the 2018 landmark judgement into law, by formally legalising personal cultivation and use of cannabis in private spaces. In turn, the change in the legislative environment significantly increased social acceptance, which drove consumption and cultivation rates across the country.
