your talking about king Solomon...and to prove this would be a little hard...but they (most rasta) smoke it and treat it as a holy herb, as a sacrament...in genesis chapter 1, jah told Adam that he gives him all things on earth to use, including as seed bearing herb...
i saw in a documentary something about pot in this religion you eat because you need to feed your body, you need nutritions and it's the same for weed, you feed youre head, you open youre mind
No not all rasta use weed to smmoke .It has many healthy properties if used in different ways such as teas and cakes
which is based on this ancient story of Airmid and Miach Airmid also had great magickal powers and herb craft was her specialty. Miach had taught her well, and she knew the different uses of each and every plant. When Airmid buried her brother it was with great sorrow. She missed him dearly, since they had always been so very close, and she frequently would go to visit his grave. One day, when she arrived at Miach’s grave, she was amazed to find 365 healing herbs growing on and around his grave, with one herb for every joint and organ of his body. Methodically, Airmid began to gather up the herbs. Then, quite amazingly, the herbs began to speak to her, telling her of the full range of their healing powers. Airmid then took the herbs and separated each from the other. Then she arranged them systematically upon her cloak, each according to its own particular use or special properties. With the knowledge she had gained from the herbs, she then proceeded to use it to heal people who needed medical attention. Amazingly, Diancecht’s obsessive hatred for his son did not end with Miach’s death. Still consumed by his enormous rage, Diancecht went over to Airmid’s cloak and overturned it, scattering all the herbs into the wind; thereby making certain that no one except Airmid would ever know the use of the herbs’ healing properties or the secret of how to achieve immortality which was made possible through the herbs proper use. Even though Diancecht was her father, Airmid found herself unable to have any feelings for him, and refused to have anything to do with him. In fact, she found it so impossible to even go anywhere near him, that she travelled far away to a place where she would never have to see him again. It is believed that Airmid still works as a Physician, high in the mountains of Ireland, spending much of her time healing Faeries, Elves and humans; bringing them all back to good health through her practical knowledge and amazing magickal skills.
Rastafari is a very new religion, and as such, they haven't established that many hard and fast lies, as have their parent religions. Instead a lot of it is more myth and legend, word of mouth and lore, than being clearly defnied. Basically a religion of rebellion, fuzed with analogies to other religions, because that's what those people who started it beleived. It's just not cohesive and generalized like that.
Also in psalms it says that god made herbs for the betterment of man. I heard that rastas were first exposed to ritual ganja use by immigrants from India. Anyone heard anything like this?
No; Rastafarianism is a view of Jewish orthodoxy which wishes to return to the Earth. It also overwhelms that Nature is really the whole World and not the self-controllable Body. So God's world has a nature. The truth about It is that Man is sinless except to his own personal nature. Even if you lie about the Nature of Things it will get out the reason of System for conventional judgment How the senses to trust are not for "What We say."
