A lot has been made of the association of Marijuana to the Rastafari faith, but its really no different than the Anglicans and their sherry.

Who cares where the birthplace of mankind was???

The point is we are everywhere now, and God said the garden of eden was mans birthplace.

Another thing to stray you from the path.

I'm proudly a member of an Ecclesia, as to follow my Dad as acatholic. If the Pope visits today, I swear that, I will solemnly welcome him. But by now, I don't know what is the confusion of the religions today, when there are rastafarians, who resemble musicians with weeds, than to be religious.

If they weren't such slackers (never saw a serious Rastafarian earning a Master's or Ph.D.) I'd sign right up. . .I'm just too type 'A' and can't relax that much. . .

I think I may have become a rastafarian by accident in college because my roommate and I listened to a bunch of bob marley records.

Men has come up with many ways to contradict and change the Word of God, and the imagination and inventiveness of some has produced rather very strange religious beliefs.

marijuana is a drug nothing more. africa being the source of humanity is possible. thus being tropical, the best growth occurs here. giving reason aztecs grew in south america due to tropical economy.

It sounds fun, but only for novelty, not for a lifestyle! Africa aint the birthplace and if it is, this doesn't make it holy, only GOD makes things holy!

I think dreadlocks are cool. I think marijuana can be a meditational aid. And I believe that Africa is the birthplace of mankind. I guess I'm more Rastafarian than I thought.

haha! well...alot of people have Rastafarianism hella mixed up! there are white people out there (myself) that are Rastafarian....i listen to reggae music and have locks...and i have also had alot of shit talked to me for it...then i told them..."hey man...you need to chill the ____ out yo, im in the same boat you are dude!" then everything was cool...all of this crap is just a misunderstanding....and yeah...we do smoke ganja for spiritual reasons....we don't abuse this though! well...maybe just a little...but it's just like the indians in america with their reservations that use their peyote! if you have peyote outside of an indian reservation and the same with marijuana in indian reservations....you get cought out side of that reservation...your ___ is going to jail my brother.

They certainly have a unique interpretation of the Bible,but no more so than many who consider themselves to be "conventional". I have never attended any of their services or events,but the Rastas I've met seemed to be fine people-peaceful,generous and upstanding.

What can you say about a religion that considers the former Emperor of Ethiopia to be god? I do feel sorry for the old emperor who died like a dog at the hands of the Communists who took over the country in the mid-1970's.

Aside from advocating Pot the religion is racist. So all these dumb, jam rock, hippy, reggae, Dave Mathews Band morons dancing around consider, the true black rastafarians hate you!

Give it a five for the marijuana. Beyond that I don't know anything about it, but it ranks number 1 on my list of religons because at least there is some benefit to it-pot.
