Advocates of the call argue that the criminalization of commercial marijuana cultivation and trading has failed to stop illicit marijuana cultivation and trading. Nevertheless, the views of those who economically benefit from the illicit marijuana trade on its legalization remain empirically unsolicited.

This study aimed to understand the views of illegal marijuana growers and traders from two selected communities in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa...
