The Rastafarians' use of marijuana is perhaps the most effective force in the movement's religious idealogy, as well as the most controversial. Its use grounded in the Bible, ganja, also known as the "holy herb", took on the role of a religious sacrament for the Rastas as the movement gathered speed in the 1930's, and symbolized a protest of the oppressive White Babylon, or power structure, which had deemed its use illegal. The term ganga refers to a specially cultivated type of Indian hemp derived from female plants, as opposed to the Mexican-Spanish variety, marijuana. The flowering clusters from the tops of the plants are carefully cut off, producing a resin with special properties capable of producing altered states of consciousness when used in smoking mixtures (Barrett 128). Ganja, then, represents a finer quality of weed, and is said to be as much as four times stronger than the Mexican-Spanish variety .

"Life is one big road with lots of signs, so when you riding thru the ruts don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality." So Ganja is the ultimate solution.
