Ras Simba Challenges Barbados Cannabis Ruling | Barbados News

Paul Ras Simba Rock is challenging a High Court ruling that upheld Barbados’ sacramental cannabis laws, arguing the decision unfairly restricts Rastafarian freedom of worship—especially for women who need to practice privately at home. He plans to appeal, claiming the law marginalizes his community and forces young growers into secrecy. The court, however, defended the law as constitutional, noting it already offers Rastafarians a unique legal accommodation without overstepping rights. The case’s outcome could impact dozens of pending cases where Rastafarians await a precedent-setting ruling. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
