Just read that the police in Cape Town bust a grower in Obs.Seems like the guy only had 40 plants but the cops are making like it`s a major bust.Makes me ponder about the 40 000+ plants I saw in one field in the Eastern Cape during December. Hope it was not any one from this site.

40 is enough for two peeps to get high all year

do you mean 40 plant per person in South Africa? In cape town?

technically it's illegal to grow any number of plants here, but the law is either unenforced or simply unenforceable in the traditional growing areas (region is among the biggest producers in the world).

city kids who grow commercial strains in pimped-up grow rooms are begging to be made examples of. the police just see the stealthy set-up and bling you've got going and they duly oblige by nailing your arse to the wall. by contrast, it's effectively 'legal' for the mountain man who tends a small plot each year to pay his child's school fees.

The issue is complex because the cops in the rural areas will be locals who have strong ties to the community .Most will have family involved in growing weed or would have grown up with the people involved.So these cops just see growing weed as part of life in these areas.The situation is completely different in the urban areas where the local cops see weed in the same light as crack and heroin.Those guys will bust your arse for sure.

Expiry stay away from South Africa,we have an excuse here called xenophobia.Basically it is the murder and robbery of any body who is not from the area.There is no way you have any chance of growing your plants here.
