What does the UN recognition of Rastafari mean for Grenada?

Rastafari is one of only two Afrocentric religions recognized by the United Nations. This is not just symbolic — it provides an internationally-backed legal framework for religious and cultural protections.
When Grenada writes cannabis legislation, the definition of "Rastafari" determines who receives cultural and sacramental protections. Using the UN framework — rather than local political definitions — provides fairness and international legitimacy.
What does this recognition mean for our community? How should Grenada use this framework in its cannabis legislation?
