This decision marks a significant shift in the country’s attitude towards cannabis, recognizing its cultural and religious significance to the Rastafari faith.

This landmark decision serves as a triumph for religious diversity and underscores the growing acceptance of cannabis for both spiritual and medicinal purposes.
