## Resource

Kenya’s high court just denied Rastafarians’ bid to legalize cannabis for religious use, ruling that current drug laws don’t violate their freedom of religion — but the judge also called for a national reckoning on Kenya’s harsh drug policies. Frustrated believers, some calling the laws “satanic,” plan to appeal and protest, igniting a wider debate about whether Kenya’s strict cannabis bans should be reexamined.
