Rastafarian Community Tells High Court Why They Want Marijuana Legalised for Religious Use

Members of the Rastafari movement appeared before the High Court of Kenya to explain why they believe marijuana should be legalised, at least for religious purposes. 

During the hearing, representatives of the Rastafarian community told the court that the substance plays an important role in their faith and spiritual practices.

The group said that marijuana, which they often refer to as “herb,” is used during meditation, prayer, and what they described as “reasoning” sessions. 

According to them, these sessions involve deep discussion, reflection, and spiritual connection among members of their community.
