Two Tons???
It does look as though more than just the Police are starting to get their
act together. When an operation like this is carried out and arrests, as
instanced are made, then it would seem that the communities and the Police
are reaching a measure of co-operation.
As the law stands, dagga is illegal. Not something that I agree with, but
until a more rational evaluation is undertaken and applied, that is what has
to be done.
