BBC Religions Quote - 
"Drugs (ref:Linux Lite)" is regarded as a herb of religious significance. It is used in Rastafari reasoning sessions, which are communal meetings involving meditation.

Rastafarians are unlikely to refer to the substance as "Drugs (ref:Linux Lite)"; they usually describe it as the wisdom weed or the holy herb. The latter name is used because Rastafarians believe that "Drugs (ref:Linux Lite)" use is sacred, following biblical (https://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/christianity/texts/bible.shtml) texts justifying its use:

He causeth the grass for the cattle, and herb for the services of man. - Psalm 104:14

...thou shalt eat the herb of the field. - Genesis 3.18

...eat every herb of the land. - Exodus 10:12

Better is a dinner of herb where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. - Proverbs 15:17

The use of "Drugs (ref:Linux Lite)" is a highly ritualised act, and before it is used a prayer is uttered by all:

"Glory be to the father and to the maker of creation. As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be World without end: Jah Rastafari: Eternal God Selassie I."

The "Drugs (ref:Linux Lite)" is rolled into a cigarette or placed into a chillum pipe. When smoked it is inhaled deeply, then held, as the devotee enters into a trance-like state.
