Why do the rastafari smoke dagga?
Asked by Wiki User
Use of cannabis is a religious ceremonial practice that Rastafari use to worship and meditate. They consider cannabis to be the Tree of Life from the Bible. They call it Ganja. It has been said that the plant is "the healing of the nations."
The group will join together to smoke it and discuss truth. Cannabis is attributed to have the ability to make the truth more clear. They also think of the use of this herb as a way to become closer to nature.
Rastafari consider Jah, Haile Selassie I, to be "His Imperial Majesty" and will dedicate the pipes to him before smoking from them. It is not a requirement to use marijuana to follow the Rastafarian religion, but many use it as a regular part of their worship. It symbolizes a burning of the corruption from the human heart in their philosophy, and, "The herb is the key to new understanding of the self, the universe, and God. It is the vehicle to cosmic consciousness."

Can white people be Rastafarian?
Asked by Wiki User
Though there are probably white people in the world who call themselves "Rastafarian", it is EXTREMELY likely that no authentic Rastafarian practitioners would ever accept a white-skinned person as a "true" Rastafarian. A distrust of whites runs through many Rastafarian circles and has become a part of Rastafarian background. For some it is even a hatred of whites or a view of them as "the enemy" because powerful "white" nations have either tried to directly oppress believers in the past or have shown little regard for those of other races. The only possible tiny exception I could think of would be that if, perhaps, a white child were born in Jamaica and/or was cared for from infancy by a family who practiced Rastafarian beliefs, maybe they would include him or her in it. I doubt this, however.
