Light it up! Mzansi reacts to dagga being legal at home
Twitter has been set ablaze on Tuesday after The Constitutional Court ruled that dagga can be smoked and grown at home for personal consumption.
The court found that the ban on dagga was unconstitutional and ruled that parliament has two years to amend the necessary laws.
Dealing and smoking marijuana in public is still illegal.
The Constitutional Court has ruled in favour of the private use of dagga on September 18 2018.
Literally, you can smoke weed at home tonight.

A man screams "Babylon" in court. There is so much applause and the court is being very patient with all the interruptions and noise and cheers.
As news of the court ruling spreads, social media users have filled Twitter with comments and memes to express their excitement.
Thank you @DaggaPartySA, Gareth Prince and the @DaggaCouple, and thank you Justice Zondo and @ConCourtSA.
