Rastafari isn't actually that cool, especially not when it comes to gay people. They are also strongly opposed to oral and anal in heterosexual couples and are generally quite patriarchal. Have a read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rastafari

Also, afrocentrism is one of its core ideas, which makes it pretty weird when white people convert to it (e.g. Gentleman, a German reggea singer).

Also, weed is still illegal in Jamaica. I assume it gets tolerated somewhat, at least with the Rastafaris, but it's technically illegal.

Also also, Jamaican rum is really good! It's a very special style, no one makes it quite like they do.

Rastafari is also not very cool when it comes to women. It's basically old testament Christianity. Great dietary practices tho.

Nothing quite like a funky Jamaican pot still style rum. So good.
