It's a Jamaican excuse to get stoned. It's got something to do with worshiping Haile Selassie of Ethiopia.

I do love Jamaican coffee, though.

Here are some points:
* Haile Selassie (one-time ruler of Ethiopia) is the Messiah.
* No Red meat or salt. (Ital diet)
* Babylon=White Supremacist Power Structure
* Black Africans are the descendants of the 12 Tribes of Israel.
* Zion= utopia.
* Black Pride.
* The official language is called Iyaric. Think of it as being like Heaven-O taken beyond the impossible.

Look for more info on Wikipedia.

Being probably the only person around with direct experience of that, I thought I would have to come in and explain it, but pretty much yeah. I couldn't have explained it better myself.
"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."

Weed could seriously hurt someone...

if a 10 pound brick of it were to fall off the roof of a building and hit them in the head.

But you're right. There's nothing wrong with smoking it. It's a stupid taboo. My best friend lived with HIV for 19 years after being diagnosed, and I believe he was so healthy for so long because of his daily marijuana use. He was never on prescription meds. Just a steady flow of pot smoke and ice cream with candy in it.

Hey, I just LOVE Rastafarianism, mon! It really inspired me, in 1968! So I was a ready convert. Jumped in with both feet. Didn't pick up everything, mind! I got rid of the complicated 'tings, like dreadlocks and slang. And I was left with the ganja... Great religion! Never looked back! Big Grin

And now, after my 40+ years of pious observance, it turns out, scientifically, that

THC is an excellent long term carcinogen inhibitor

Rastafarianism vindicated! I couldn't be happier!

Of course the establishment, especially the US establishment, doesn't like their precious war on drugs, their well-paid judges', lawyers', and cops' jobs, and their lucrative 3 million inmate prison industry threatened. Or the highly overpaid jobs and incomes associated with cancer-related pharmacology and medicine.

So the 'Legalize' campaign will be an uphill struggle for while to come, I'm afraid. Too many powerful 'special interests' with too much to lose.

But science is our friend!
