Jack Frost

The licence to Jack Frost for cultivation was originally issued on 19 September 2022, meaning activities prior to that date occurred before this licence was in effect and may constitute illegal cultivation of dagga if no other permit existed.

“the licence given to Jack Frost, and it is issued originally on 19th September 2022. So everything that we have looked at thus far is before this licence was in effect.”

Prima facie the licence granted to Jack Frost under section 22(1)(c) of the Medicines and Related Substances Act did not authorise the growing of dagga on the scale shown.

“this licence certainly did not authorise it.”
