Members of the Rastafarian community yesterday marked the last day of protests outside of the Office of the President (OP) over the recently enacted law that removes custodial sentences for possession of less than 30 grammes of cannabis.

They now plan to take their issues with the legislation to court.

Some two dozen persons participated in the protest outside of the OP, where they defiantly smoked cannabis as they continued to demand respect be given to the rights of their community by exempting Rastafarians from any type of prosecution under the law.
