The initial base of the Rastafarian movement began sometime between 1920 and 1930 in the slums of Jamaica. Some Rastafarian see the Rasta as a way of life, rather than a religion. The Rastafarian lifestyle usually includes ritual use of marijuana, avoidance of alcohol, the wearing of one's hair in dreadlocks, and vegetarianism. Regardless, the Rastafarian people are proud to display rich cultural heritage through things such as language, their beliefs and values, and the values that they hold.
