"According to many Rastas, the illegality of cannabis in many nations is evidence that persecution of Rastafari is a reality.[citation needed] They are not surprised that it is illegal, seeing it as a powerful substance that opens people’s minds to the truth — something the Babylon system, they reason, clearly does not want.[15] They contrast their herb to alcohol and other drugs, which they feel destroy the mind."
