Listened in to the launch of this incredible report today. It is a rare thing to hear 100% truth and rationality in our crazy weed world. Hold the line... there are some very clever people who have our backs. #cannabis @FieldsOfGreenFA

And it's back to court we go! Here at @FieldsOfGreenFA we need support from EVERYONE who has a relationship with our favourite plant. Ask us how YOU can help as we negotiate the courts on many different levels and battle stigma, ignorance and laziness, all the way to the the top.

Fuck prison for drugs but also: Fuck forced treatment. People who want help should be able to get it, but don’t force anyone into programs they don’t want just cuz they smoked a joint, bumped a line, ate shrooms—or consumed any other substance they don’t feel causes them problems

This is what is killing #SouthAfricans at the rate of 50+ a day. The huge chasm between rich & poor. The rich ones won't be killed. They can afford the security, the bodyguards. Politicians cherry pick murders worthy of their attention. #RememberingJules

I very much doubt that these 3 ordinary citizens are going to receive any attention from any of the people in hats - black, red or khaki. This is the perfect example of what is wrong in SA.
Will SA’s spectacle-politics jamboree head for this hearing too? Can we expect EFF, DA, ANC & Afriforum et al to be doing mic-drops & poster-clutching in support of Simphiwe, Mpho & Mzwandile? Or it does the murder of these children not meet our attention thresholds?

How do we stop the #racialising of the killing of our loved ones? @afriforum jumped on the bandwagon, @EFF did the same. They both have legitimate constituencies with legitimate concerns. Maybe the answer is #leadershipskills? A huge ask in #SouthAfrica youtube.com/watch?v=gxGDI8t9…

Sorry your honour, the minister will be unable to attend as he is too busy cherry picking which murder victim's family he will visit this week. So many to choose from...

What would you do if you were me? It's 15 wks, 3 days and 7 hrs since Jules was murdered in our bed. There has been NO progress with the @SAPoliceService investigation. The file is at the bottom of the pile with the other 50 murders in #SouthAfrica that day. #desperate #broken

Nicotine is amongst the most accepted drugs in the world. A large proportion of the harms associated with #nicotine consumption come from smoking tobacco. E-cigs negate many of these harms. Drug Science podcast - linktr.ee/DrugScience #vape #VapingNicotine #smoking #tobacco

Happy birthday to Sasha Shulgin, born on this day in 1925. He invented hundreds of chemical technologies for exploring the mind and healing the soul.

As users of an illicit drug all our adult lives and founders of #JoinTheQueue, we know only too well what the cops are capable of. If the cops menace you, film it. It takes courage, but remember - you've got rights. #StopTheCops @JoinTheQSA @FieldsOfGreenFA
As we enter Level 3, remember: on average, police kill someone every single day in SA, lockdown or no. For sustained, data driven coverage on #policebrutality follow @viewfinderjourn

If responding to COVID & policy brutality are at the forefront of your mind, and if decarceration & police divestment are goals you are working toward, take a look at this piece. Drug war is a direct contributor and ending it should be your priority: talkingdrugs.org/racism-and-…

Cannabis Laws in South Africa explained: If there was ever uncertainty in South Africa about how the country’s current Cannabis laws work, it was probably amplified by the global pandemic that hit South Africa in March 2020. bit.ly/36SisCR #CannabisCanHelpSouthAfrica

We do not argue that children should be allowed to smoke cannabis. We argue that if children are found to be using cannabis then they should not be dealt with by the criminal justice system. The children should receive support of certified social welfare services; etc...
