:confused: I've read that Rastafarians are allowed legally to smoke marijuana. I'm not really religious I guess. I just take key things from all religions that I actually believe in and I guess just formulate my own religion, but what if I were to just convert to Rastafarianism(?). Say all I wanted to do was smoke marijuana and I just converted, would that work?

I'm not going to do it, but what would stop a pothead from doing it?

This thread may be alittle retarded, but I started the night alittle early at 5pm with some beer.

Let me know what you guys think.

Maybe Rastas are allowed to smoke reefer in Jamaica, but no group of people is allowed to smoke the herb in the USA. I believe the only scheduled substance that a religious group is allowed to use is peyote for Native Americans.

Someone just handed me this article at school one day that looked like it been scanned from a text.
Isn't peyote like cocaine?

So they cannot smoke marijuana in the US even if it's in their religion's regimine?

I see in Jamaica they are leaning to allow them to do it if they hadn't already.

I already belong to another religious group, but what really keeps people from doing that?

Because i'm sure there are thousands of Rastafarians on ATOT. Did you expect anything but jokes? Man you've been here 3 years...you should know better.

People have given you the correct answer, as well: it is NOT legal for them to smoke pot in the US. This has been challenged, but that's all, to my knowledge.

It is a part of their religion BTW,they just are not allowed to puff the ganja in the states just on the beach in kingston.....

Perhaps some research on google on your part would get the "results" you are looking for,not many rasatfarians on the web I think ???

seriousness on the internet is a waste of time, all that happens if you try to discuss something rationally is that 11-year old kids say "STFU U F4G!"

Far from it, peyote is a cactus that contains mescaline. Mescaline is most like LSD or psilocybin containing mushrooms.
