Islam is for all people... Rasta is for those high on drugs.... Fact.... Smoking dope is part of the rasta faith... Meaning being off your senses is when you are supposed to be in a state of worship... It's what racists want for black ppl, to be off their head unable to evolve & be better successful humans..

@Abdulbses Well that is just plain stereotyping an entire group of people with that statement ". Rasta is for those high on drugs.... Fact.... Smoking dope is part of the rasta faith" That is not true. Yes some Rastafari use "HERB" not weed...not DOPE...and NOT all Rasta use it. Please get your facts straight before opening your mouth in matters you are not well educated in.

@Abdulbses Who the fuck said that weed was ever bad for you? go the fuck outside and look up. look at where you are. you are fuck good sir. you. are. fucked.

@daveasinas Yep!! You got it. It's all ism skism..Bob Marley and the Wailers had a lot of religious stuff in their songs but look past that and it was one dude delivering some universal ideas which we could all learn whether he tapped what we al feel and experience in life or learnt it from someone else. You know what...I haven't found one song with lyrics that say "You must" or "You should"

@Abdulbses You should probably do some research before you come talking like that. Marijuana is medicine and the rasta faith is about a lot more than just smoking cannabis. Stop being a disgrace to the Muslim society, as I am Muslim myself.

[daveasinas]

doesn't matter what religion or color you are this song has the universal message of transcendence of any evil whether it be racism, classism or any ism.
