Explorers Group to discuss cannabis with experts

BRYANSTON – The group will discuss the pros and cons of the plant during the talk.

 

The Explorers Friendship and Chat Group in Bryanston will be hosting two speakers to discuss the proposed legalisation of cannabis in South Africa.

The group was started to give older people the opportunity to build friendships and hosts a variety of speakers to engage them. During the past three years, there have been around 45 speakers and many interesting outings, all of which had been enjoyed by members.

Shelley Addis, the coordinator of the group said, “We will host two opposing speakers covering the hazards [of cannabis] to health as well as the health benefits.”

The speakers will be the Dagga Couple, Julian Stobbs and Myrtle Clarke, a pro-cannabis couple who have taken a case to the Constitutional Court to have cannabis legalised in South Africa. There will also be a representative from Doctors for Life, a volunteer organisation that is opposing the legalisation of cannabis.

Addis invites visitors to take part in the discussion on 20 July at 10 am. For more information contact Shelley Addis on 083 409 7927.
