Juju is my nickname, so when you experience JuJu Royal you know it's coming from my point of view, which is organic, strong (and for some, it doesn't need to be so strong) and far from pesticides. Related: Which Big Consumer Product Companies Really Are Entering the Cannabis Industry? How is JuJu Royal different than other cannabis brands? What's the difference between alcohol and cannabis, in your opinion?Īlcohol makes you dizzy and drop down and herb keeps you balanced, meditated and focused. So the Rastaman has always known it's been good. It's always considered something positive, not like alcohol. Like Peter Tosh sung in the song called "Legalize It" in 1976, it's good for glaucoma, it's good cancer. Things like this show you the connection of herb and spirituality. It says that Solomon was the wisest man on Earth, and it was found right around his tomb. Even in the Bible, it talks about the different herbs of the field. What does the Rastafari religion say about cannabis?įirst of all, Rastaman is a spiritual person and we are spiritual people and obviously students of the Bible. We want to be a part of this whole movement, especially in America where it's always been. Rastaman has been not just promoting, but showing the benefits of the herb. JuJu is coming from me being an advocate and a love of the herb itself. Why did you get into the cannabis business? Rastaman has to be there also as part of the contribution. If it wasn't a business then we wouldn't make it a business. Since they made a business, we have to be a part of the business also. We all wanted it to be free but because of how it is, we have to be part of it also. Back in the day, you used to get good herb in Jamaica and plant it back in the garden. You can't even plant in the yard anymore. They would want it to be legal, but now that it's legal the Herb has no seed anymore. That's the only thing that would be different about what he would be saying. And the Herb should be free, but because of the greed of society and Babylon, you know they always wanted to make a buck off of it. The same way I go to the store and buy some herbs like thyme or parsley.
