A 53-year-old man, arrested for possession and dealing in dagga oil is due to appear before the St Albans Magistrate's Court on Monday.
The man was arrested by the PE Flying Squad and K9 Unit members at a house in Lakeside Road in Theescombe in the Kageba Park area on Sunday.
Naidu says the members confiscated 78 dagga plants, 120 syringes of dagga oil and 10 bottles of liquid which was in the manufacturing process.
Meanwhile, there has been a public outcry over the man's arrest on social media with many people regarding dagga oil as a powerful healing agent.
In terms of current legislation, however, dealing in dagga and dagga oil, and the manufacture thereof, even for medicinal purposes, is still illegal.
Algoa Fm News spoke to a qualified herbalist from the Garden Route, Sharon Price, whom herself was arrested on similar charges last year.
"We totally understand that this is illegal the rest of the world is legalizing this and South Africa is actually under pressure to legalize this right now. They have been dragging their feet for how long" she said.
Price says they are not happy about the fact that people are buying oil from dealers since there are practitioners who are testing their products.
"Standards have to be put into place and the decent oil-makers are testing their stuff" she added.
She admits that there are many people who are making these oils at home but blames 'prohibition' for allowing the man on the street to do this and get away with it.
"If the people knew that they could legally go and get clean, decent oil from registered places, not underhanded like they are busy doing it".
She says she knows of 70 doctors who are prescribing this product.
Price made local headlines in 2016 when her farm in Brandwag was raided. She was arrested and accused of cultivating dagga.
During the raid, a Warrant Officer shot and killed her 11-year-old pitbull Izra, who he said: "approached him aggressively".
Price's case was struck off the roll following a High Court ruling in March by Judge Dennis Davis that according to the Constitution, cultivation and use of dagga in the privacy of one's own home should be legal.
