OUR VISION is the world filled with ONE LOVE, health and happiness for all.
OUR MISSION is to support small local Rastafarian communities by allowing them to share their culture and values with visitors to Jamaica.
How We Do It
We allow small local Rastafarian farmers to sell high quality ganja that is in excess of what they produce for their own use for sacramental purposes using our platform. We reinvest the proceeds back into local communities and we fund a number of community-based projects to support the most vulnerable members.

The Rasta’s use of Ganja stems back to the beginning of Rastarafi in Jamaica. In 1941 one of the early teachers of Rastafari, Leonard P. Howell, set up a Rasta community of sixteen hundred Rasta’s. This community was named Pinnacle. At Pinnacle, Howell grew Ganja as a cash crop. It was during this time that Rasta discovered the properties of Ganja that helped their reasoning process. The Rasta soon turned to the Bible and found reverence to the use of this holy plant. From this Ganja was born into the Rastafari culture.
