Subject: Cannabis in South Africa



Dear fellow researchers,

I am interested in the history of cannabis use and cannabis prohibition in South Africa. Can anyone recommend any good books or articles about this?

I am a researcher at the Queensland University of Technology who writes about cannabis use and cannabis prohibition in Australia. My most recent books are Marijuana Australiana and The Sydney Connection.

Cheers,

John Jiggens
