Definition of Rastafarianism : a religious movement among black Jamaicans that teaches the eventual redemption of blacks and their return to Africa, employs the ritualistic use of marijuana, forbids the cutting of hair, and venerates Haile Selassie as a god
The principle ritual of Rastafari is the smoking of ganja, or cannabis. Among the names that Rastas give to the plant are callie, Iley, "the herb", "the holy herb", "the grass", and "the weed". In addition to smoking it, Rastas also ingest cannabis in a tea, as a spice in cooking, and as an ingredient in medicine. Cannabis is usually smoked during groundings; some Rastas smoke it almost all of the time, a view that other practitioners regard as excessive. However, not all Rastas use ganja, explaining that they have already achieved a higher level of consciousness and thus do not require it.
• Ratafarians usually have dreadlocks, also called locs, dreads. It’s a famous Rastafarian hairstyle.
