“There is a major concern that hookah pipes, after a while, may serve as a gateway to the use of other harmful drugs,” says Professor Angela Mathee, Director, Environmental and Health Research Unit, Medical Research Council.

Why does the MRCSA continue to deny the health benefits of dagga? Why does the MRCSA continue to spread propaganda but keep silent on the truth?

Please release the study that you have promised to do for over 4 years.
