Jah Mason starts to focus on finding marijuana containing THC and smokes a specific strain while praising the Rastafarian leaders. His purpose for smoking is to meditate, and he does not touch cocaine or any inferior quality strains; he only trusts the highest grade available in his possession and does not encourage anyone to taste or harmlessly try it without actually buying it.

He advocates for medicinal prescriptions for marijuana use for all ages.
