In 2010 Julian and Myrtle were raided in their home and arrested for “Dealing in Dagga”. Rather than plead guilty, they decided to sue the eight government departments that maintain and enforce the policy of Cannabis prohibition in South Africa.

Dubbed The Dagga Couple by the South African media, they set aside their careers in the Film and Television industry to establish Fields of Green For ALL NPC to support their Constitutional Court Challenge that would come to be known as the Trial of the Plant.

Myrtle and Jules’ 10 years of activism together took them to every corner of our beautiful country, engaging with communities along the way in a series of tours designed to, above all, keep the South African Cannabis Community informed of their rights and to share crucial information about the state of Cannabis in our nation.

As their reputation grew, The Dagga Couple were invited to participate in  Cannabis events, conferences, and gatherings in our neighbouring countries and across the world. They were also fortunate to welcome many visitors to South Africa, who have all helped strengthen the mission towards a uniquely South African solution for Cannabis to share with the world.

We miss you, Jules!
