A Kenyan court has dismissed a case brought by the Rastafari Society seeking to decriminalize cannabis use, a decision that has significant implications for the community. This ruling came after a lengthy consideration period that began in 2021, during which the court assessed the arguments surrounding the religious use of cannabis by Rastafarians.
While the court rejected the petition, it also recognized the growing dialogue around cannabis policy within the country, indicating that a broader national discussion on the matter is needed. The Rastafarian community had been anticipating the ruling, underscoring the ongoing tension surrounding cannabis legislation in Kenya.
