Debate 🇻🇨 Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

Rastafari reject a religious-use cannabis law

The government withdrew its Permitted Use of Cannabis for Religious Purposes Bill before the debate on the medical cannabis laws. Rastafari representatives had told the select committee that the state cannot grant a right to their sacrament, and that a law would expose their worship to scrutiny by international drug control bodies.[1]
