The Cannabis Embassy of South Africa

Decriminalisation means that you agree that growing a safe, beneficial plant is a crime. It means that you agree that the government can criminalise anything they want without justifying the reason. It goes against everything that a truly free society stands for.
Legalisation is another name for taxation and regulation. The government first made Cannabis illegal through taxation and regulation. What is the point of fighting for Cannabis freedom only to have it taxed and regulated out of your hands all over again?
Re-legalisation means true Cannabis freedom. No tax, no control, no licenses, no permits, no regulated markets which all push up the price and ensure that only the governments approved suppliers are allowed control over the monopoly.

Will the Cannabis laws ever change in South Africa?

At the moment, the only people who are winning the battle are those individuals who are standing up for their own Rights. In order to change the laws, YOU need to stand up yourself and fight, by asking the media, government and other organisations to justify Prohibition. But today, most people are too lazy and believe that the current ‘trivia and taxation’ organisations are going to fight for them, even though most of these organisations are actually run by the government as management systems to ensure that the majority of the population do nothing to help change the laws, never challenge the Human Rights aspects of Prohibition in court, and accept government regulation, permits, licenses and taxation in the future (which is equivalent to making it illegal all over again). Trivia and Taxation organisations are usually government front organisations that demand membership, then bombard you with trivial information, like polls (do you smoke Durban or Swazi?), that do nothing to change the laws, distribute mis-and-disinformation, question empirical studies without refuting them or presenting their own studies to back up their 'harm' claims, illegally infringe on copyrights, and terrify you with newspaper articles on recent busts (police acting on a tip-off - I wonder how they got your information? Don't worry, just LOG ON and upload your grow pics) while making you feel powerless to change the laws yourself. Then they offer their only 'solution', which is huge government taxation of Cannabis, permits for use, licenses to grow and NO TRADING PERMITS FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC. They can easily be identified as the will mention people being allowed to grow limited plants or use Cannabis (but with sever restrictions and government regulation/permits) but will never mention your trading or distribution Rights. They work for the government (as it will only be the government, their bosses, who will have distribution/trading permits). It's all about the money and the control of Cannabis, not the freedom. 

What are the fundamental differences between the Cannabis Embassy Of South Africa's Re-legalisation activism and the other Cannabis organisations in South Africa?

The key difference is that the Cannabis Embassy of South Africa was the first organisation to bring up the Human Rights issue, identify the Crime of Prohibition itself and call for the prosecution of the government of South Africa, including past and current presidents. Also, we are the only organisation that calls for restoration (point 27----> Empirical Facts Library). The other organisations are calling for negotiating with government, the complete forgiveness for the Crime of Prohibition, no or limited restoration, and the rewarding of government (for their Crimes against humanity) and continued persecution of Cannabis cultivators, traders and users by promoting taxation and legal regulation (expensive permits). Also, no other organisation has opened a coffeeshop, seedbank and held Cannabis cups that were open to the public. (We live what we stand and fight for, not just talk about it while hiding away behind anonymous avatars.)

How can I help Re-Legalise Cannabis?

First of all, you need to learn the facts about Cannabis. The government and media rely on your ignorance of the facts, which allows them to continue pushing their lies. For example when the government, media or the ‘pro’-Cannabis government front organisations make a false claims like Cannabis causes psychosis, you need to be able to point out that in Cannabis-using communities, according to the empirical studies, the psychosis rate is always less the 5 per 1000, while in the general population the levels of psychosis are always more then 5 per 1000. The same goes for all the other allegations that they cannot prove empirically like driving, crime, gateway effects etc.
Secondly, you need to start questioning the legitimacy of the many new ‘pro’-Cannabis organisations out there. Many of them have been set up by the government to track the movement, track the cultivators and traders (online) and influence the direction of the public (through the promotion of predictability - making sure the public never act on their own but are controlled into accepting Cannabis taxation and regulation). Ask them to put their money where their mouths are. Ask for their personal traceable activism history, what they have done to challenge the laws legally or to change the laws. Have they ever promoted or encouraged people to cultivate, use, or trade Cannabis? What is their legal stance on Cannabis, and if they claim it’s a Human Rights stance, ask them how they are working to promote this issue and whether or not they have ever actively challenged the government over the issue. Ask them to back up any restrictions they are suggesting (driving etc) with empirical studies. Call out, expose and destroy the government front organisations that claim to be 'pro'-Cannabis.
Thirdly, find out how Human Rights actually work. Human Rights are not something issued by the government or granted by a Judge. You automatically have Human Rights and if the government wants to limit your Rights THEY have to justify the limitation with empirical studies (not the governments own grant-paid scientists ‘studies’). Its the governments job to do the work to justify the limitations on your Rights, not your job to prove you have them.
Once you know the facts, how human Rights work and which organisations are government infiltrators or actual Cannabis activist organisations, you can then ask yourself how you can help other people and the Cannabis movement. (It should be clear by then.)

Where does the 'Coffeeshop J-Thang' herb come from and how is it grown?

The A+ and A grade strains are all imported from Europe. (Mainly The Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Italy and Greece.)
The B grade strains are the lower quality European strains, or the best quality South African strains.
C grade strains are all locally grown. 

All our Cannabis is grown in soil, organically, without pesticides or chemical fertilisers. Strains are grown to their optimum harvest point (just before the crystals turn yellow) and individually harvested, dried and cured, unlike commercial growers that harvest their entire crop at the same time. Although hydroponic Cannabis can produce bigger yields, we found that connoisseurs prefer the subtle taste differences and burn quality of organically grown Cannabis over commercial, chemical crops. The Coffeeshop J-Thang is the only coffeeshop in South Africa that promotes quality over quantity and profits. That is why we have become the most trusted brand of Cannabis in South Africa today.

Remember, if there was any REAL danger, the government would be able to show it to you empirically (not hypothetically or by using their own, grant-paid 'scientists' (read prostitutes)). The fact that they cannot show you the harm empirically means they are deliberately lying to remove your freedoms which is a crime against humanity that the government must be held accountable for. We can never negotiate with the government until those who implemented and enforced these tyrannical laws are brought to justice.
