A rasta or rastafarian is someone who follows the religion of
Rastafarianism.
There are some "poser"
rastas, that only call themselves rastas, so that they can dread their hair and smoke weed.
The smoking of weed is considered a way of speaking to their god, Jah. Rastafarians do read and follow the bible, and they helped shape
Jamaica's people nowadays.

The
Rastafarian religion originated in Africa. It is often associated with the poorer black population of Jamaica. It is not just a religion, but a way of life.
Rastafarians speak out against; poverty, oppression and
inequality.....not just religious ideas but global problems. Rastafarians will use the Bible for guidence, although it is interpreted through black eyes.

A person who lives for
Jah, and
praises him with his/Her every might.
They use the bible, but don't really look into
the Jesus part of it.
They might have dread locks.
And most use weed to connect to Jah in a new way, and see stuff in a diffrent light.
Example:
Bob Marley was a true Rasta who used his music to spread the good, and
bad news to people. And connect with
Jah.
