The UN General Assembly will meet in New York City on April 20, 2016 to address global drug policy. Ras Iyah V and Tony Rebel should be invited to accompany Jamaica’s delegation to ask the nations of the world to recognise Rastafari as Jamaica has done, and welcome its music, its message, and the celebration of its sacrament in culturally rich, alcohol-free, peaceful, profit-making environments. Jamaica offers opportunity for a win-win-win-win all around — for Rastafari, for farmers, for Jamaica, for a world that needs to recognise ganja as a positive, cultural, spiritual experience.
