High court agrees there’s not much difference between a dealer of cannabis and a grow club, handing cannabis hot potato back to Parliament. It says it’s not for the courts to decide on legality of grow clubs, which have been set up to sidestep the Drugs...

Liddell and his legal team had hoped to rely on the Prince ruling.

“It may be that the legislature envisages the legislation hereof in the future, but this does not mean that the court should anticipate it. The legalisation of dealing and cannabis concerns policy issues and falls within the realm of the legislature, not the judiciary.” Operating a grow club is therefore still deemed to be a criminal act in terms of the Drug Trafficking Act and conviction can lead to imprisonment.
