Ill_Evan Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Today is a good day. Quote In another groundbreaking judgment to protect the rights of children, a judge has decriminalised the use and possession of cannabis by children in our country. Judge Ingrid Opperman of the Gauteng High Court, Joburg, declared sections of the Drugs and Drug Trafficking Act unconstitutional and invalid where it criminalised the use or possession of cannabis by children. Quote According to the centre emphasis should rather be placed on treating children for drug dependency, rather than criminalising, incarcerating and punishing them, especially when adults in the same position are treated differently. Justice Minister Ronald Lamola, in his written submissions to the court, confirmed there was indisputable evidence that arresting children for the use of cannabis had a negative effect on them. https://www.iol.co.za/pretoria-news/news/child-dagga-criminality-lifted-3418f3fe-6522-425f-a04a-f9206d468817 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreX Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 What!! We were putting kids in jail for pot!? Kids!!! I'm no goody two shoes... But speaking to my brother and sisters... Weed is freaken rampant in schools... Amongst other way worse substances. I can just imagine that being exposed to jail time for such a mild Mr meaner would wreck the kids mental outlook on almost everything... Life, relationships, friends, future job applications... Pretty much snuffing out that child's life before it even begins... Sies South Africa. Thanks for sharing man! This a really good day for some good news 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
