Can I get away with smoking weed if i say my religion is Rastafarian?

Answer 1

It did not work for a friend of mine. 10 years on the job and was open about it from the beginning. They decided to test at that time and the standard for a first time offense was 3 days off. He was off for over 90 days, yes this was his first offense. It's been about 8 years, he still works there and is not smoking. They also tested him almost 2 times a month, until they hit the max limit that they could test him in 2 years. The ACLU would not touch it, so I wouldn't waste my time there. In short I doubt you will get away with it, but good luck.

Answer 2

You can get away with smoking weed in this life only if the law doesn't catch yoy. In the world world to come, you're already caught , guilty and judged unless you repent and turn to Jesus for forgiveness of sins

Answer 3

Rasta, or the Rastafari movement, is a religion and philosophy that accepts Haile Selassie I, the former Emperor of Ethiopia, as God incarnate, whom they call Jah.[1] He is also seen as part of the Holy Trinity as the messiah promised in the Bible to return. The name Rastafari comes from Ras (Head or Duke or Chief) Tafari Makonnen, the pre-coronation name of Haile Selassie I.

The movement emerged in Jamaica among working-class and peasant black people in the early 1930s,[2] arising from an interpretation of Biblical prophecy partly based on Selassie's status as the only African monarch of a fully independent state, and his titles of King of Kings, Lord of Lords, and Conquering Lion of Judah (Revelation 5:5). Other factors leading to its rise include the sacred use of cannabis,[2] and various Afrocentric social and political aspirations,[2] such as the teachings of Jamaican publicist and organiser Marcus Garvey (also often regarded as a prophet), whose political and cultural vision helped inspire a new world view. The movement is called Rastafarianism by some non-Rastas, although Rastas themselves generally regard that term as improper and offensive, because of the saying that "isms" denote "schisms".[3]

The Rastafari movement has spread throughout much of the world, largely through interest generated by reggae music—most notably, that of Jamaican-born singer/songwriter Bob Marley. By 2000, there were more than one million Rastafari faithful worldwide. About five to ten percent of Jamaicans identify themselves as Rastafari. Many Rastafari follow an ital diet which essentially means living by the dietary Laws of Leviticus and Deuteronomy in the Old Testament.

It is not possible to explore the roots and development of the Rastafarian movement without detailing the life and times of Leonard Howell - who has been described as the "first Rasta". Howell formed a commune of up to 5000 persons at a place called Pinnacle, at St. Catherine in Jamaica. His exploits, trials and tribulations can still be understood as there are still people alive today, who were born and grew up at Pinnacle. It was the first commune of its type in Jamaica, and at its zenith was an oasis of peace and prosperity for those living there. Its destruction by the Colonial authorities, and the dispersal of its members, served only to sow the doctrine in more communities: the slums of Kingston - Back a Wall and the community of Waterloo and Tredegar Park in the parish of St. Catherine.

Answer 4

I don't know what country you are in, but I doubt it'd fly in the US. I asked my husband if that would work in the military (they have a zero tolerance policy, obviously,) and he said absolutely not. I'm sure if the way of life of Rastafarian demands that you smoke, you could go legal with it and get away with it. But, I don't think they require it.

Answer 5

No, that is not any longer. Federally, that is not any longer criminal for every person to very own weed, and diverse states enable it for medicinal use purely. It has no longer something to do with forcing faith on human beings. loss of weed via no capacity helps Christianity. there is not any commandment "thou shall no longer smoke weed." no person is permitted to smoke it, inspite of religion, and there is truthfully no requirement between Rastas to smoke weed. it fairly is something they discover useful, even though it fairly is via no capacity a call for.

Answer 6

Many coverts to Rasta have coverted after eating moldy cheese before bed while listening to Bob Marley. Bob Marley's spirit then appears to them in their sleep. He then says,"Just hit this weed mon.(referring to a joint of marijuana)." After hitting the joint they then become one with the universe and convert to Rastfaria. They also have a current ICBM Nuclear Weapons Development Program, based under a Marijuana Soup restaurant 5 km from Montego Bay. The Facility is staved by Black guys wearing those funny looking rainbow hats who speak in a funny accent.

Answer 7

Weed is simply against the law for all Vote to change it.

Answer 8

I don't see that it matters, the law doesn't seem to be enforced anyway. Smoke your brains out man, enjoy it while you can.

Answer 9

Well, it didn't work for Native Americans and peyote. But, go ahead, see what they say. I see handcuffs and a phonecall in your future.

Answer 10

You should be able to get away with it even if you don't say that, well you would in a sane world anyway, I think.
