Prince v President Cape Law Society and Others (2002)

This 2002 decision involved a law graduate denied access to the bar in South Africa due to his religious use of cannabis as a member of the Rastafari. The court found that the criminalisation of cannabis use for religious purposes by Rastafarians unjustifiably limited their right to freedom of religion.
