Eastern Cape Premier Oscar Mabuyane says the commercialisation of cannabis can create jobs and grow the South African economy.

Mabuyane says the issue will be raised in the proposed economic development master plan which will outline how the small scale cannabis farmers will benefit from the formal commercialisation of the plant.

Mabuyane says it is high time to formally commercialise cannabis. “It’s not a question of being premature, it’s a question of government raising it. Society talks about it, people understand it so we have brought it into our horizon in terms of understanding, because of the attitude that we have. We just literally think it as a dagga nothing more; other to think about it as this necessary herb that can really contribute in the manufacturing and in the industrialisation of the economy.
