This is exactly the thread I was looking for and I feel we need to find a clear answer. You can argue that herb is good for the nation and your own benefit, but how can you argue that smoke is good for the I? We all know that smoke is suicide. Rasta is the biggest symbol of self-love and (health is wealth) liverty. Rasta liverty reject drugs, alcohol, chemicals, meats and processed foods and these things that are slowly killing you. Why is smoke just an exception ?? I even smoke herb like Garveys Africa, but sometimes I look myself in the mirror and wonder if I really keep it real with I-self and I nation in the end? Rasta promote what we as human beings are designed to. Are we designed to inhale a killer? This is a great thread and I hope we can continue it Bless Up

In Banda Aceh, families use the herb in cooking, even giving to children's. Correct. The Sadhus in India use the chillum, but most use charas [hash]. Smoking should only be for hash as you use much less smoke, so much less damage. Also most damaging parts is removed when hash is made.

Everyone has their own journey I'm still curious what people like Jesse Royal or Sizzla Kalonji would answer to this. They are spliff smokers

Give thanks Ras Runman I think 90% of others here would rather this thread and these discussions didn't exist. I still haven't found a good counter argument to my original post.... But then I did put several arguments across in one. Haile I I

Smoking spliff can be fun but then you feel responsible and get all paranoid because spliff hold a lot of weight. At least in my experience. I never buy splaff, I know some people say that's disrespectful. It used to be my opinion that if people want to give me herb who am I to refuse. But I learned from my teacher never to accept gifts.

Messenger: Geez Che Sent: 6/8/2020 8:45:31 AM

Some of the I want I to spoke spliff constantly :( Really piss I off. Youth say it so aggressive too as if there's something wrong with knowing weed. Most of the time, they only after herb. The only herb I smoke is tobacco, love tea.
