South Africa moves its dagga ban into a pharmacy act

National provisions shifted from the 1922 customs law to a pharmacy act. Only cannabis species were now named; the wild plant Leonotis, which the earlier law had also listed as dagga, dropped out of the schedule.[1]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for South Africa here.
