Aweh my bru! The Cape Town Cannabis Expo is back and will be held from 24 – 26 March at Sun Exhibits in GrandWest.
Ever since the Western Cape High Court announced in September 2018 that weed can now be used and grown in South Africa, there has been an incredible amount of interest in ganga. Despite the obvious goofy effects of klapping a joint, this ancient plant has been proven to be more than just a party drug.
These days, cannabis is being offered as alternative medicine, fuel, and even as fabrication materials in countries that previously treated it as a gateway to harder drugs and crime.

The first Cannabis Expo in South Africa was held in 2018 and since then it has become the ‘global marketplace for education and innovative products and businesses serving the cannabis industry and its medicinal, agricultural, financial and lifestyle aspects’.
The Cannabis Expo is the largest trade and consumer expo of its kind on the African continent and includes the Exhibition Hall, networking and entertainment spaces, The Cannabis Food Market as well as The Cannabis Convention that hosts moderated panel discussions and presentations from global industry leaders.
This year’s expo will also include The Shroom Expo, a first-of-its-kind exhibition featuring talks by local and international industry experts on a broad range of psilocybin mushroom and psychedelic-related topics. You can check out the full schedule here.
Lovers of the sweetleaf in Jo’burg and Durban will also get a chance to experience the expo when it travels to their backyard in the coming month, with the Durban Expo being held on 28 – 30 July 2023, and Johannesburg on 24 – 26 November 2023. Puff puff, pass.
