Police seizure of dagga from Joburg medical marijuana pharmacy ruled 'unlawful'
A court has ordered police to return a large quantity of cannabis seized from a pharmacy in Johannesburg, saying the medical cannabis, edibles, pre-rolled joints and more were seized without a warrant.
The case deals with the rise of pharmacies which only stock cannabis-related products and use doctors to write scripts for Schedule 6 medicines, which are usually heavily regulated. While the police's seizure of the cannabis products in May last year was ruled to be unlawful, the Johannesburg High Court stopped short of ordering that all the goods be returned directly to the pharmacy.
