Ziggy Marley: "I Started Smoking Marijuana At 9 With My Dad's Consent" by titiloyeblog: 10:14am On Aug 23, 2019 |
Bob Marley’s son Ziggy Marley reveals he started smoking marijuana at 9 and his dad approved Ziggy Marley, the son of late legendary Jamaican singer, Bob Marley has revealed he started smoking marijuana at the age of nine, with the blessing of his reggae legend father. The 50-year-old, who followed in his father’s footsteps to become a musician is a Rastafarian like his father, who died in 1981 aged just 36. He admitted he was ‘too young’ to start smoking the drug but said it was always a common thing in the Rastafarian culture. ‘Smoking marijuana wasn’t considered a bad thing in Rastafarian culture’, he told Reader’s Digest. ‘It wasn’t something to hide from the kids. ‘I can’t even remember when I had my first “spliff”, I was around nine. I was very young, too young.’ The singer admitted that if not for his father's blessing he wouldn't have started smoking at a young age. ‘I wouldn’t have let myself do it in my father’s place’, he explained. But it was a part of our religion - we’re one of those ancient cultures with traditions that modern society wouldn’t accept.’ He explained that he didn’t smoke marijuana for ‘fun’ and instead used it to heighten his spirituality. ‘When I first consciously decided to smoke weed as a teenager, I approached it from a spiritual point of view’, he went on. ‘It’s given me more insight into myself and into my spirituality, and I use it as a form of influence when reading scriptures and books about spirituality. I use it to give me a different perspective so that my mind isn’t in the same place that it normally is. I turn into a shaman. ‘It was never just about getting high - I educated myself about it in terms of how Yogis in India use it and I went down that route with it, I didn’t go down the “fun” route.’ source: https://www.titiloyeblog.com/2019/08/bob-marleys-son-ziggy-marley-reveals-he.html 13 Likes

Yemisi Ajeojo @Yemisi_Ajeojo These stories of fraud affects all of us. I applied for an accounting role with a charity in the UK during my placement year One day, after I had complained that I wasn't given any accounting task to do, the manager who was Asian called me into his office and asked me... "What are Nigerians known for?" "Without thinking, I said 'jollof rice" He said No and then went on to give me a long lecture on how Nigerians are known for fraud and although he wanted me to be a part of the charity, he will not let me work directly with the money. It was a few hours later on my way home that what had happened hit me. I remember crying all the way home and being so thankful that it was raining so people will not see me. Never had someone question my competence or integrity because of my nationality. I went on to do great work for the charity though. Managed their digital skills project, wrote bids and proposals that raised thousands of pounds within a short time as well as set up and managed other projects for the community. I was so good they offered me an extension after my contract was over. I was just never allowed to handle the money or records directly. I am heavily involved in enabling more young people leverage on the digital economy as an alternative to crime and unemployment. But how can they do so effectively when they have been stigmatized because of their nationality. You can't even use your laptop in certain public places because they are not sure if you are using it to commit crime or not. While we are encouraging provision of knowledge and opportunities that will enable more people be productively engaged online as an alternative to crime, it is important that we also address the stigma that comes with being a Nigerian.I took on project to raise money to buy laptops and phones for students or people with digital skills who could not monetise their skill because of lack of resources. Later I realised. "Yemi if you give these people these tools and do not provide the opportunities or guide them on how to get these opportunities, you have basically given them a tool for crime.". 17 Likes 6 Shares |

Europeans let their children drink wine at that age. Whites and Asians let them smoke cigarettes at that age. Bob Marley was following a religion which uses the herb in the same way many traditional religions have used mind altering substances. He wasn't teaching his children to be substance abusers. 11 Likes 2 Shares |
