South Africa government is able to construct 10 hemp homes for the cost of convicting every 2nd dagga offender & nobody’s questioning why people still live in shacks. #DaggaDebate
Almost sounds too good to be true but in this case is absolutely plausible.
Recently at an international law enforcement conference, held in Cape Town, activist Julian Stobbs, from the Dagga Couple pointed out that the cost to the state for arresting, prosecuting and applying correctional sanctions in respect of each dagga offender stood somewhere around R240 000.
This ultimately mean we are jailing people for choosing dagga over alcohol and tobacco at the expense of the homeless.
Let us rebuild the rainbow nation in a green revolution.
