We speak to Kwanda Mtetwa the first South African to get a legal medical prescription for medical marijuana. Kwanda is a also a cannabis activist lecturing at the Cheeba Cannabis Academy.
The Gauteng man was involved in a motorcycle crash back in 2011 and later needed a safer and more effective way to treat himself. He began to grow his own marijuana before it was permitted in Mzansi.
Kwanda has now finally earned a legal medical prescription from a doctor for marijuana. While this event is not a novelty in other corners of the globe, in Mzansi it has been unheard of.
