September 1952 - What Dagga addicts say about the weed
September 1952 - What Dagga addicts say about the weed - The grandpop of dagga smokers is 51-year-old, greying, broad-belted Uncle Wallie. Wallie is a veteran of the last two great world wars. Wallie is a fine example of a product of his environment. The poor quarters in which he was reared was responsible for his addiction. He must have felt big and manly after getting his first taste of the drug under the carful instructions of his older friends at the age of 13. He maintains, with erudite wisdom, that dagga has done his no harm. He also drinks, is inclined to be garrulous. (Photograph by Drum Photographer @ BAHA)
