A man was incarcerated in Hillbrow after being found to have smoked 300kg of cannabis. "A few hundred" more kilograms were found in his possession.
While the consumption of dagga in a private or personal place has been decriminalized, regulations against the purchase of products containing cannabis still remain in effect, it also remains unclear how the ruling can be enforced as well.
The suspect in custody, Mpho Moleko, was arrested after police placed him under surveillance on suspicion of cultivation of cannabis with intent to sell. Police would spot several people believed to be his customers leave his apartment daily.
The customers would then return carrying empty bags and leave with the bags allegedly refilled. Police finally successfully obtained a warrant and found daily tapes showing Moleko consume on average, 300kg of marijuana daily.
Moleko could not be reached for comment at the time this article was published.
