September 1952 - What Dagga addicts say about the weed
September 1952 - What Dagga addicts say about the weed - How does it feel to smoke dagga? This is what Gilbert Jones, 27-year-old Coloured painter, told Mr. Drum: It gives me more sense, makes me think faster and steadles my nerves. Jones says that he cannot do his painting properly till he has had a few puffs from his pipe. Jones has a hard mouth, with dull bleary eyes and heavily ringed fingers. A broad hat and a leather strap round his wrist completes the paraphernalla of his type of dagga smoker. Jones began smoking the drug at the age of 15. (Photograph by Drum Photographer @ BAHA)
