Peace Bredren,
I would not worry a wit on people of this kind. They are not knowledgable of how rastafari came to be and most of them are stuck in a christian material dreamworld. People like this do not see the SPIRIT POWER in herb and most of the time have no clue about spiritual self realization and getting closer to the Almighty through works of goodness. I would advise that you try and explain that yes, rastafari is NOT a religion, but it is a path where the I believes in ONE ALMIGHTY GOD who is the creator of the universe and all things. We just happen to call him Jah. Oh, let him know also that all rastas do not smoke herb. It is a free choice among bredren. Peace

Greetings 1080man, I am still in school and I have a very similar problem, one of my classmates keeps saying that all rasta is, is smoking the herb and getting stoned and when I tell him rastas don't have to smoke it he comes back with " then what is it then if you dont smoke dope" very annoying but I just ignore him  Bless

If they are somewhat reasonable try to educate them as it is only through truth and knowledge that we can combat Babylonian ignorance. If not, just ignore them brother, InI still at school also and go through this problem all the time.

The i could point dem toward Jah Music n say, did u know many of the music we enjoy today is made by "stoners". Check it out! Herb relaxes and stimulates similtaneously, being a perfect ally for musicians, also opens the lungs to absorb more oxygen, keeping I healthier n purified. "stoners" hit I wid music n it is irieI! Before prohibition 70 - 80% at least of medicines perscribed by British n American Doctors contained Cannabis, it is only because of corrupt money n power hungry synthetic n pharmecutical companies,n politicians n racist police n court system etc dat we still have dis Herb illegal. Tell them, don't believe the "reefer madness" hype, they lie, dem find no conclusive evidence n justification for prohibition, is just another way to control the people for their own means n ends Guidance tell the children the truth! Bless nya

Greetings!
At least almost everyday, Ive encountered people like that, some people are just too lazy enough to listen,and some have already have hard stalks that cant be bend. People live the life they live, so Iman just have Ignore them, But when them Ask question on me about ganja negatively. Ill always say this " why critized the Almighty's creation, while you are promoting Man creations, like advertising Cigarette, Alcohol and Specially MSG(monosodium Glutamate). Hazardous side effects of Parmacuetical Products.. Junk foods, ...etc.
Why not start to overstand Jah's creation, and experience every healing properties it gives both Physically and Ispiritualy.
BLess Love to each ONE
