Rastafarians appear in Court over bhang legalization case

On February 4, members of the Rastafarian Society of Kenya appeared before Justice Bahati Mwamuye at Milimani High Court in Nairobi as part of their ongoing constitutional case seeking the legalization of bhang for religious, spiritual, and cultural use under the Kenyan Constitution.

Rastafarians argue that criminalizing cannabis infringes on their constitutional rights to freedom of religion, dignity, privacy, and equality, and they are pushing for recognition of cannabis use as part of their faith.
