Rastafarians gather outside the Milimani Law Courts during a ruling delivered virtually on the legalisation of cannabis in Nairobi on July 15, 2026. Kenyan justice on July 15 rejected a request from the country’s Rastafari community, which had demanded to be allowed to freely consume cannabis in the name of freedom of worship, but called for a national debate on the drug. Kenyan law makes possession of cannabis for personal use punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a heavy fine. The Rastafari community of Kenya launched legal action in 2021, demanding that this law be declared unconstitutional because it infringes on their religious freedom, or that it not be applied to them, in the name of freedom of worship.
