Implications for society about cannabis
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
The implications for society can be summarised as follows:
adult individuals are now permitted;
to use, possess and cultivate cannabis;
in private; and
for personal consumption only
The use (including smoking) of cannabis in public or in the presence of children or non-consenting adults is not permitted.
In order to determine if a person is in possession of cannabis for personal consumption only, the amount of cannabis found in possession must be used to make that determination.
The higher the amount, the higher the likelihood that the cannabis is not only being used for personal consumption. The Constitutional Court has left it up to the legislature to determine the permissible amount of cannabis that can be legally possessed by an adult.
