"The more you accept herb, the more you accept Rastafari"

This quote by Bob Marley is a call to embrace the Rastafari movement. The Rastafari motion is a spiritual and cultural motion that came from Jamaica in the 1930s. It is based on the mentors of the Bible and the belief that Haile Selassie I, the previous Emperor of Ethiopia, is the living God. The motion is likewise carefully associated with the use of cannabis, or herb, as a spiritual sacrament. Marley's quote is a reminder that the more one accepts and embraces making use of herb, the more one is accepting and embracing the Rastafari motion. By accepting herb, one is accepting the spiritual and cultural beliefs of the Rastafari movement, that includes the belief in the divinity of Haile Selassie I. Marley's quote is a call to open one's heart and mind to the Rastafari motion and to accept its mentors and beliefs.
