Different activities.
Different regulatory questions.
Private adult use, medical access, cultivation, commercial activity and regulated supply are not interchangeable. Private-use rights do not establish general permission to sell cannabis. Medical access engages medicines legislation and SAHPRA processes. Cultivation requirements depend on purpose and applicable law. Commercial supply requires its own lawful framework.
We will separate official facts from personal experiences, estimates, opinions and unverified allegations. Responses inform reviewed evidence; they do not establish clinical effectiveness, legal liability or national public opinion.
How your contribution is used
Authorised reviewers assess relevance, quality and privacy. Reviewed aggregate findings may inform reports and formal submissions. Raw responses are never placed on the public dashboard. Expert attribution requires separate permission and final review.
Participation does not guarantee regulatory change, access to treatment, a licence, employment or an official response.
Regulatory information
Source review: 2 November 2026. This is general information, not legal or medical advice. Current commencement notices, regulations and individual authorisation conditions must be checked before relying on any summary.
- Cannabis for Private Purposes Act, 2024 ↗
Read the enacted text alongside commencement notices and current regulations; enactment alone does not establish that every provision is in force.
- SAHPRA: Section 21 guidance ↗
The official guidance page identifies version 6, updated 30 October 2025. Check for subsequent updates before relying on it.
- SAHPRA: Section 21 FAQs ↗
SAHPRA describes applications through treating medical practitioners. This initiative does not process authorisations.
- Parliament: making a submission on a bill ↗
Use the committee name, matter under consideration, evidence and recommendations. Check the specific invitation for its deadline and delivery instructions.
- Parliament: how to petition Parliament ↗
A parliamentary petition follows parliamentary rules, including the applicable lodging route. Confirm current requirements with Parliament before delivery.
- Information Regulator: special personal information ↗
Health information requires particular care. Legal review must establish a lawful basis, safeguards and any required authorisation.
- Parliament: Have Your Say ↗
