My opposition to all drugs is well known on here but the argument that it is needed for the full participation in a religion is the weakest excuse yet for legalising cannabis. Total rot !

On a related subject....how do these people get their hair to look like that !
Someone told me once that they put glue into it, but that sounds highly improbable.
I think the choice of the word 'need' was ill advised as cannabis is allegedly not habit forming, just like chocolate,difficult to give up.
Perhaps it's a side effect of smoking herbs?
I sure I remember being told when I was a child that if I ate the crusts on my bread I'd have curly hair.

I think someone is standing behind her mikey. :0)
if the line were to be crossed and that which is currently proscribed by UK law allowed for religious reasons, where would you choose to draw the new line?
Interesting.

On balance, I would say not.

It is a feature of the Rastafarian faith that smoking ganja is an integral part of the religion, but as the lady herself advises, it is not seen as compulsory.

It is an instant knee-jerk reaction subject - the idea that some people wish to partake of an illegal drug for what are advised as religious reasons - and I think the lady in question is raising it to expand the legalisation debate further.
No he is not having his civil liberties infringed.
He doesn't smoke cannabis so it doesn't really affect him, so I think no
so this is the sort of idiot that unseated Labour is it? Mikey, your boys took a beating from thick birds like this? Please!
TTT - // ... thick birds like this?//

You may not agree with the lady's political stance, or her position on this issue, but neither makes her a 'thick bird' - such sentiments are about forty years out of date.
Well if it were legalised look at all the dosh it would put into the treasury !

"Mikey, your boys took a beating from thick birds like this? Please!"
So did the conservitives, libdem, ukip and all the rest
the conservatives did not lose any seats in Scotland steg.
you have to be a couple of cans short of six pack if you think the right to take drugs is a oooman rite!

I don't think the argument is that it should be allowed to take drugs per se - the discussion revolves around the wider issues of the religious practice of Rastafarianism which encourages, but does not demand, the intake of marijuana by its adherants.

No one said they did, but they only won 1 of the 59 they went for
but " thick birds like this " made sure they got their lowest ever vote count in Scotland

but you said they also took a beating, they did not. Scotland has never been Tory country.
If getting only 1 seat out of 59 and polling the least votes ever is not a beating then lol
Well as some as our strictly" abide by the rules" advocates on this site keep telling us. If you don't like it you can always leave. Smoking or using cannabis ,unless for medical use, is not against the rules. It is against the law. End of. Go to Ethiopia and smoke yourselves into oblivion but not in the UK.
They call it the holy herb and it is part of their religion, is it vastly different to Halal meat?

I don't think his civil liberties are being infringed, if he wanted to smoke it i am confident Jah would provide. :)
