Dear Editor,

Members of the Rasta faith only want to cultivate ganja to be used for religious purposes.

Those people who are not Rastafarians want to allow the enemy of Rasta and busybody people to highlight Rasta as exporters, when we are not.

When Matthew speaks of “senior members”, who are these senior members? And why are they hiding The Church of Haile Selassie I from the public, when the Church of Haile Selassie I is the only legal entity for Rasta in Jamaica.

Now dealing with the “herb ganja” as a holy sacrament, it is only the Church of Haile Selassie I that can make ganja holy, through the ritual of consubstantial, it becomes a holy sacrament, The Might of The Holy Trinity comparable to the Eucharist of the established churches.

With Groundation and Tabernacle 2015, that is just a word name. When groups of people meet, chant, and smoke, the essence of sacramental meaning is not there.

Rasta is heterogeneous, irrespective of this, the Church of Haile Selassie I is the only legal entity that can administer “herb ganja” as a holy sacrament spiritually and give the Rasta spiritual representation.

I believe the Minister of Justice Senator Mark Golding should, in the future, involve the Church of Haile Selassie I in his future statements and considerations, because he was there at our incorporation and knows the validity of the Church of Haile Selassie I.

The Church of Haile Selassie I is the only organisation in Rasta worldwide that can administer the consubstantial necessary to Rasta to validate, spiritually, dealing with any sacrament of the Rasta movement. Groundation Tabernacle chant cannot perform this ritual; this is the main reason that Rasta should stop hiding the Church of Haile Selassie I, because we are the only house that is legit.

Give thanks.
