摘要

一个世纪前,斯穆特政府在1922年的《海关和消费税法》中合法限制大麻作为“危险药物”。今年2月,拉马福萨总统宣布非洲人国民大会(ANC)政府打算促进国内大麻和大麻“行业”,以帮助该国新冠肺炎经济。在这两个时刻之间,我们如何理解达格的官方立法历史?这个问题与南非殖民和种族隔离历史的特殊性有关。然而,为了解释民主时期政策的连续性,以及与“日常毒品资本主义”的国内关系相关的经济不公正的持续现实,我们还应该考虑全球的比较历史参照框架。在南非,dagga有着悠久的土著用途和含义历史,在工业发展、移民雇佣劳动和种族隔离过程中,随着其同时商品化和法律限制,这种用途和含义开始发生更大的变化。1922年的大麻禁令在很大程度上是帝国主义和医学进步派的胜利,他们早些时候曾寻求

South Africa’s Century of Cannabis Politics, 1922–2022
A century ago, the Smuts government legally restricted cannabis as a ‘dangerous drug’ in a 1922 Customs and Excise Act. This year in February, President Ramaphosa declared the African National Congress (ANC) government’s intention to promote a domestic hemp and cannabis ‘sector’, to aid the country’s Coviddepressed economy. How can we make sense of dagga’s official legislative history between these two moments? The question is linked to the peculiarities of South Africa’s colonial and apartheid pasts. Yet, to account for continuities of policy into the democratic period – as well as of persistent realities of economic injustice related to domestic relations of ‘everyday narco-capitalism’ –we should also consider global, comparative frames of historical reference. In South Africa, dagga has a long history of indigenous uses and meanings, which began to change more dramatically with its simultaneous commodification and legal restriction during processes of industrial development, migrant wage labour and racial segregation. The 1922 cannabis prohibition was largely the triumph of imperial and medical progressives, who had sought earlier

期刊介绍: Over the past 40 years, the South African Historical Journal has become renowned and internationally regarded as a premier history journal published in South Africa, promoting significant historical scholarship on the country as well as the southern African region. The journal, which is linked to the Southern African Historical Society, has provided a high-quality medium for original thinking about South African history and has thus shaped - and continues to contribute towards defining - the historiography of the region.
