Inom Rastafari-rörelsen är det tillåtet att bruka cannabis (oftast).
Vissa anser att det bara ska användas som ett sakrament och och vid meditation andra att det är helt okej att röka dagligen medan andra ser det som en drog och därför inte ska användas alls. Men det är upp till var och en…
saxat från http://www.theflow.nl/cannagod.htm:Buddhists (Tibet, China and India) Since the 5th century BC, Cannabis has formed an integral part within many ceremonies and is considered by many to be a most holy plant. Within many Buddhist scriptures are claims that the Buddha himself used and ate nothing other than Cannabis and it’s seeds for six years before discovering his truths and becoming the Buddha.

To the Hindu the hemp plant is holy. A guardian lives in the bhang leaf
Vaishnavas as well as Shaivas make offerings of bhang
Much of the holiness of bhang is due to its virtue of clearing the head and stimulating the brain to thought. Among ascetics the sect known as Atits are specially devoted to hemp. No social or religious gathering of Atits is complete without the use of the hemp plant.

There are no prohibitions against cannabis stated in the Bible, the holy book of Christians. According to the Book of Genesis which describes the creation of the earth, God created all plants, which would include cannabis. It states specifically that God gave humans “all plants bearing seeds” for their use.
