SocietyKenyan court rejects Rastafari bid for religious marijuana exemption

A Kenyan court has rejected a request from the country’s small Rastafarian community for legal permission to smoke marijuana as part of its religious practice. The group relied on the constitutional guarantee of freedom of religion. The judge ruled that the applicants had not demonstrated that marijuana use was necessary to their worship. The decision therefore denies the requested religious exemption.
