The Mission To promote the responsible use of cannabis, as part of a healthy lifestyle, among those who have already taken the decision to consume cannabis.
SAFER Cape Town - A Positive Force in South African Society
Safer Cape Town has been established to co-ordinate and direct activities which counter and reduce Cannabis abuse.
The members believe that a healthy cannabis industry is dependant on a healthy society.
Cannabis, used responsibly, can make a positive contribution to the quality of life of those who choose to use it. Cannabis can harm those who abuse it, and can result in undesirable consequences for society.
Everything consumed or used by humans can be abused. People die from the compulsive consumption of large quantities of alcohol or water, breathing too much oxygen or from driving cars too fast.
The appropriate and safe use of any substance depends on the user's quality of consciousness and ability to make responsible decisions. This in turn is dependant on a host of factors including the availability of information and the prevailing norms of society.
SAFER Cape Town has little direct influence over individuals who are emotionally disturbed or prone to antisocial behaviour. SAFER Cape Town can make a substantial contribution to the development of responsible norms in society, and through sound education programmes can improve the average consumer's decision making skills.
The great majority of people in South Africa who use cannabis do so moderately without damaging consequences. SAFER Cape Town aims to ensure that this trend is encouraged.
