Marijuana has been used for centuries in many religious practices, it is only in modern times it has been outlawed. I think Rastafarians are still allowed to use it for religious purposes though.

Is seen by many blacks, particularly Rastafarian's as a deity.  He was one of the first black rulers of Africa in the 20th century.  He is seen as taking back his country from European domination (Italy).  A brave and educated man who truly loved his country and people.  He fought side by side with them to obtain his country's freedom and was recognized as royalty by European and African powers of the day (1920's - to his death in the 1960's or 70's).

Rastfari is a religion, God bless Bob Marley:\n\nJah One Love!\n\nRastafari movement\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\nJump to: navigation, search\nHaile Selassie I\nEnlarge\nHaile Selassie I\n\nRasta, or the Rastafari movement, is a religious movement that accepts Haile Selassie I, the former emperor of Ethiopia, as King of Kings, Lord of Lords and the Lion of Judah as Jah (the Rastafari name for God, from a shortened form of Jehovah found in Psalm 68:4 in the King James Version of the Bible), and part of the Holy Trinity. The name Rastafari comes from Ras Täfäri, the pre-coronation name of Haile Selassie I. The movement emerged in Jamaica among working-class and peasant black people in the early 1930s, arising from an interpretation of Biblical prophecy, black social and political aspirations, and the teachings of their prophet, Jamaican black publicist and organiser Marcus Garvey, whose political and cultural vision helped inspire a new world view. The movement is sometimes called "Rastafarianism"; however, this is considered improper and offensive by Rastas.\n\nThe Rastafari movement has spread throughout much of the world, largely through immigration and interest generated by Nyahbinghi and reggae music—most notably, that of Bob Marley, who was baptised Berhane Selassie (Light of the Trinity) by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church before his death, a step also taken later by his widow Rita. By 2000, there were more than one million Rastafari worldwide. About five to ten percent of Jamaicans identify themselves as Rastafari. Most Rastafarians are vegetarian or only eat limited types of meat, and in the US you can find numerous West Indian vegetarian restaurants.

psuedo intelligentism. To be a true starbuckian you must first have a pair of black thick rim glasses. Then you must sit there looking solem like you know the answer to life. To complete this look you must have one of the 4 devices: laptop, cellphone, Ipod, Ipaq

Come to think of it i do get a rather large number of people saying they are in Africa and asking for money\n\ni have not been able to ascertain what religion they actually are but they do like to cruise various christian chat-rooms looking for a 'hit'\n\nHow they tend to operate is to sit in the room for a bit and wait for someone who looks like they may be a 'rich' westerner.  Rather than imbibe in room chat they will im them privately.\n\nsome ask for money straightaway - others will not do it immediately but will build up to it over a few conversations.\n\nthey usually have stories of hardship but all of them have enough resources to find a computer (and some even have web-cams too!) \n\nmy advice is \n\n* dont respond to ims from people from chatrooms without any room chat first\n\n* dont send money to individuals that you meet online - you cant check out scams as easily online - if you do feel sorry for their plight then gifting to a charitable agency will do far more about the situation

http://www.pathsofdevotion.com/african.html\n\nThis is my website, far from complete, but I actually do have a little article about West African Traditions.  Most of all though, see the link where I linked to another person's website.  They have a lot of good stuff on there!

I don't think that's an official rule. I'm fairly certain you have to be of African descent, though.

First, you need to posses a very charismatic personality and have the ability to get people follow your every word.  You also need a have a slightly distorted vision on what life in your country should be.  Once those are in place you then need to systematically get people to believe in your vision and have them vowel to lay down their lives for you and your cause.  Once this is in place you then create a plan of the most vulnerable areas and begin to gain a strong hold in these areas. Once that is accomplished you then eliminate your opposition and start laying down rules and punishments for the unconverted masses.  Once all this is completed and you are in power, you then need to rule with an iron fist and make examples of those who reject your thinking.  Just make sure you are surrounded by people who you most trust.  \nGood luck in your future endeavors.
