What Do Rasta Say Before Smoking?

The Ganja is always smoked in a ritual way. Before smoking the plant the Rasta will say a prayer to Jah (God) or to Haile Selassie I. The Rasta call them reasoning sessions when they use Ganja for Nyabinghi. A Nyabinghi session is much different from a casual marijuana smoking session that western people take part in.

How do Rastas smoke?

Ganja is often smoked communally among several Rastas from a common pipe called a chalice. This is often done during gatherings known as reasonings, where ideas are freely shared among participants. Communal smoking helps to emphasize the sense of community among those presents as well as creating divine connections.

How do Rasta greet each other?

In Rastafarian, you would greet a friend on the street by saying "Bredren, wa gwaan?" The other Rasta may respond with: "Bwai, ya done know seh mi deya gwaan easy." This means: ""I'm here just taking it easy."
