South African military personnel will not be exempt from forthcoming legislation surrounding private cannabis consumption, according to the nation's Department of Justice and Constitutional Development (DOJ), thereby potentially placing its legality at risk. The DOJ suggested that the bill would be unconstitutional if it prohibited the use of the drug by South African National Defence Force (SANDF) personnel. Australia-based Federation TAFE, in collaboration with GemKom, an agricultural technology company, intends to kick off an accredited pilot course in the cultivation and production of medicinal cannabis starting this year, reported Times News Group. The members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police can use cannabis, as long as they are fit for their duties when they report for work. The newly enforced policy comes instead of a 2018 rule under which front-line officers, among other employees, were not allowed to use recreational cannabis for four weeks before coming on duty.
