Choosing Section Twenty One means choosing safety, legality, and the highest standard of medical care. We’re a licensed medical centre operating under Section 21 of the Medicines and Related Substances Act, giving patients safe, legal access to cannabis-based treatments prescribed by healthcare professionals and delivered directly to your door.

The Benefits of Going Legal

Safe, Regulated Products
Unlike street cannabis or social clubs, every product we supply is tested for purity, potency, and safety. You get consistent, pharmaceutical-grade medicine ,free from contaminants, mould, or harmful additives.

Doctor-Prescribed Treatment
We work with qualified medical professionals who understand cannabis-based medicine. That means safer dosing, condition-specific recommendations, and a personalised treatment plan based on your health needs.

Full Legal Protection
We operate entirely within South Africa’s legal framework under Section 21 of the Medicines and Related Substances Act. That means no legal grey areas, just peace of mind knowing your treatment is 100% authorised and compliant.

Convenience and Privacy
Everything happens online, from medical consultation to delivery. No waiting rooms, no sketchy meets, no need to risk your health or safety. Just discreet, professional service from a trusted provider.

Accessible Care, for Everyone
While there is usually a doctor's consultation fee of R350 and a SAHPRA application fee of R400, Section Twenty One subsidises these costs to make medical cannabis more accessible to patients in need. Our goal is to remove financial barriers to safe, legal treatment.

Ongoing Support
We’re more than a prescription service, we’re your partner in care. From helping with Section 21 paperwork to checking in on your progress, we support you at every step.

Cannabis Clubs

Cannabis clubs, often called grow clubs or social clubs, operate in a legal grey zone in South Africa. These member-based collectives claim to grow and share cannabis privately, often avoiding direct sales by using “donations” or membership fees. However, the Cannabis for Private Purposes Act does not legitimise this model. Cultivating or distributing cannabis on behalf of others - even without payment - is considered illegal. Despite some clubs believing they are protected under constitutional rights, their legal standing remains uncertain, and enforcement actions continue.

Medical Exemption

Medical cannabis is regulated under the Medicines and Related Substances Act, with oversight provided by the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA). Products containing THC are classified as Schedule 6 medicines, meaning they can only be prescribed by a licensed medical practitioner and dispensed by authorised healthcare providers. Patients can legally access these treatments through SAHPRA’s Section 21 exemption process, which allows doctors to apply for permission to use unregistered cannabis-based medicines on behalf of their patients. These products must meet Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards, ensuring consistent quality, safety, and efficacy. At Section Twenty One, we specialise in simplifying this process - from medical consultations and Section 21 applications to sourcing compliant, pharmacy-grade products - giving patients a safe, legal, and medically supervised path to cannabis care.
