In order to make history we need to understand history. From the first, racially motivated prohibition meted out on Indian indentured labourers in the (then) Natal province in 1878 to the present day as police continue to harass our Cannabis community and lock us up in cages – the history of the prohibition of the use and cultivation of, and the trade in, Cannabis, is an incredible journey.
