On Monday, Cannabis Working Group activist Andre du Plessis appeared on South African television station SABC to engage in a debate about marijuana legalization with Deputy Chairperson of the Central Drug Authority David Bayever.

Bayever gave a rambling statement about why it has taken the agency so long to formally address the topic, which du Plessis interrupted:

"David, the Central Drug Authority's 11 years late in presenting its position paper. Please don't bring xenophobia into this as a form of excuse for being late in doing your job."

Then, du Plessis, deciding he had enough, lit a joint of what South Africans call "dagga" on the air, and proceeded to smoke it like the coolest dude of all time.

"I think that's all I've got to say."
