Kenyan Court Rejects Rastafarian Petition to Legalise Cannabis

A Kenyan court has dismissed a legal petition filed by Rastafarians seeking to legalise cannabis in the country. The case was brought forward by members of the Rastafarian community, who argued for the right to use cannabis, particularly for religious and cultural purposes. The court ruled against the petition, declining to grant the legalisation sought by the plaintiffs. However, the court did acknowledge that the question of cannabis policy warrants a wider national conversation in Kenya.
