The Cape law society refused to register Garreth Prince's community service contract, the step before admission as an attorney, because he had two convictions for possessing cannabis and said his Rastafari faith required him to keep using it. South Africa's Constitutional Court held by five votes to four that the Constitution did not require a religious exemption from the cannabis laws. In dissent Justice Sachs wrote that the state was obliged "to walk the extra mile". Sixteen years later Prince won the privacy case that legalised private use.[1]
