I'm in South Africa: purchasing cannabis products on the clearnet. The law is, you're allowed to have cannabis on your own property, up to like 1.2kg or something few people can reasonably accumulate. You can grow 4 plants.

You can provide cannabis as a gift without "remuneration". i.e. you can't buy or sell it

Meaning, you join a "social club" where your spontaneous membership fees coincidentally directly correlate to the THC metabolite concentration in your urine. This is the legal grey area.

But the cops here are still stupid fucking cops. Got a bag of 4g Jack Herer in a Ziploc bag with beautiful artwork on it on the way home from the dispensary?

SIR YOU ARE UNDER ARREST FOR THE DEALING OF DRUGS. You either pay a stupid bribe or they throw you in jail for a night or a weekend until a lawyer can come bail you out and the case never goes to trial.

They did not do enough police reform after the official end of apartheid.

1.2kg of cannabis would be like a lifetime supply for me. That's a cumbersome amount of pot.
