Still the One: Why NEKED Remains Clarens’ Premium Boutique Craft Cannabis Dispensary

There’s been a green glut lately.

If you’ve been following the cannabis market in South Africa, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about. Facilities across the country—some new, some well-established—were built with off-take agreements that, quite frankly, never came to fruition. The result? A flooded market. Cannabis—some of it lovely, some of it less so—has been pouring into the system, driving prices down and leaving consumers more confused than ever.

So, where does that leave NEKED?

Right where we’ve always been.

Since opening our doors in 2019 as Clarens' first cannabis dispensary, NEKED Cannabis Café has stood for one thing above all: quality craft cannabis. We’re not a facility pushing retail store

. We are a premium boutique dispensary built on long-standing, trusted relationships with some of the finest cannabis farmers across South Africa. We’re here to offer our members only the very best—the most fragrant flower, the most consistent potency, and a shopping experience that’s soulful, sincere, and downright delightful.

And here’s the exciting news: Effective immediately, we’ve dropped our bud prices by approximately 25% across the board. Same craft quality. Same dedication to detail. Just more accessible, because that’s what the market—and our members—deserve right now.

We invite you to come in, see (and smell) our samples, and chat with us about what makes each strain unique. And if you can’t make it to Clarens, you can always order online with confidence, knowing that you’re buying from a dispensary you can trust.

Why NEKED?

We’re proud to say our team—our tribe—has a combined 250+ years of cannabis experience in our families. We know this plant. We respect this plant. And we’ve walked the talk since the beginning.

I’m not just the founder—I’m a cancer survivor. Cannabis didn’t just help me, it gave me my life back. NEKED Cannabis Café was born out of a deep desire to pay forward the gift I received. What started as a courageous (and controversial) move in 2019—opening Clarens' first cannabis café—has now blossomed into a thriving community of tens of thousands of members across the country. For that, Daimon and I are eternally grateful.

Of course, the landscape has changed. Cannabis shops are popping up on every other corner these days. But don’t be fooled by the flashy signs and sudden hype. We were here when no one else dared. We paved the way. And we’re still doing what we’ve always done—delivering the finest craft cannabis, infused with love, knowledge, and a deep respect for this sacred plant.
