South Africa has given the green light for the operation of the first legal cannabis pharmacy within its boundaries. This unmatched launch follows the Decriminalisation of cannabis in South Africa in 2018. According to a report by The Sunday Times, THC Pharmacy is South Africa’s first legal cannabis pharmacy. The pharmacy supplies card-carrying medicinal cannabis users and is registered with the South African Pharmacy Council and the health department. According to THC Africa CEO Kyle Brocklebank, the pharmacy is located in Glenanda, Johannesburg. It supplies two others, CBD Hub in Meyerton, Gauteng, and CBD Emporium in Ballito, KwaZulu-Natal. The doctor assists with applying for medical cards, while a chef shows users how to use the herb in cooking.“So far the pharmacy has sold more than 3kg of the dried medical flowers. It is slow because each card only allows for 120g per person a month, which is 4g a day for 30 days. We’re aiming for around 500 card-carrying members, where we will see around 30kg-50kg of product sold per month,” Brocklebank said.
