02 / Before you start
The legal line
Since the 2018 Prince Constitutional Court judgment, South African adults may cultivate and use cannabis privately, in a private place, for personal consumption. Growing to sell or deal is illegal, and so is use or cultivation in public. Everything here is educational, for adults 18+, and assumes private personal use only — read is dagga legal in South Africa and the home cultivation legal guide first.
