Pot playtime over?

The new cannabis bill grinding its way
through parliament toughens penalties and includes jail terms for growing,
selling and importing without a licence, and for marketing and advertising of
the traditional drug that was delisted as a narcotic in June 2022. But its most
controversial provision is the imposition of fines for recreational smoking,
even in one’s own home. This has drawn condemnation from many, including long-time
cannabis legalisation advocate and entrepreneur Chokwan Kitty Chopaka.
