S.Africa's top court rules private cannabis use legal

Description

South Africa's top court rules that private and personal cannabis use should be legal in the climax of a case that has pitted officials against marijuana advocates and the judiciary. Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo, delivering the Johannesburg-based Constitutional Court's unanimous verdict, said that the law banning marijuana use in private by adults "is unconstitutional and therefore invalid".
