Police searched the premises of a 66-year-old woman from Natale village on 26 January 2024, according to Mmegi Online. They found a very small amount of dagga and dagga seedlings in a sachet in her room.
She told the court she boiled the seedlings and drank the water to treat her asthma. The case was heard at Francistown Magistrate Court, and the article says she narrowly escaped jail and a fine. The report names her as Kgakgamatso Jethro. The exact sentence was behind a paywall and was not read.
Why it matters: A woman in her sixties faced jail over a very small amount that she said was a home remedy. The exact outcome was not available to me.
