The suspect who allegedly also sells franchises for cannabis dispensaries is a major supplier of cannabis and related products in the country. The investigation aims to clamp down on the unlawful mushrooming of Cannabis dispensaries around the country which are purporting to be operating legally in terms of the Traditional Health Practitioners Act (No. 22 of 2007). A search of the suspect’s store allegedly revealed over 500 kg worth of Cannabis estimated to be approximately R3 million, hydroponic tunnels for cannabis cultivation, various apparatus for processing and oil extraction and other numerous cannabis products, all which were subsequently seized. The suspect will appear at the Brits Magistrate’s court on 11 November 2019 for contravening the Medicine and Related Substances Act and dealing in Dagga. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsyCLown Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Hydroponic tunnels? Not greenhouse tunnels. I wonder how the 420 cafe in Sandton is still open? Were they also acting under a traditional healer license? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
