Separation between church and state is not as clear cut as you think. Rastafarians aren't allowed to smoke weed, for example.
The Rastafari movement encompasses themes such as the spiritual use of cannabis. Often accompanied by Bible study; they consider it a sacrament that cleans the body and mind, heals the soul, exalts the consciousness, facilitates peacefulness, brings pleasure, and brings them closer to Jah. They often burn the herb when in need of insight from Jah. Cannabis remains illegal in Jamaica and most of the world and this has caused friction between Rastas and modern societies.
