Dagga plan up in smoke?
Knysna – It seems as if the idea for the first Amsterdam-style coffee shop in South Africa is going up in smoke.
Amsterdam is renowned for its coffee shops where caffeine takes a backseat to marijuana.
In June, News24 carried a report on the plans of Rastafarians of the Boboshanti branch in Khayalethu, Knysna, to open the Bobosh Ganja Coffeeshope.
However, last week, police clamped down in the same area, home to South Africa’s largest Rastafarian community.
Captain Eddie Cronje, police spokesperson, said police received information that there were drugs in Judah Square.
Thirteen people were arrested – six of them for possessing marijuana, one for dealing in marijuana, one for public violence and five for riotous behaviour.
Police confiscated nearly 25kg of marijuana, more than 100 marijuana plants and 29 Mandrax tablets, Cronje said.
The alternative coffee shop would have opened its doors at the end of June.
