With all of the Church's US legal issues consolidated into one formidable Federal case, the Church attempted to disprove the notion that Ganja is harmful. Pushing for the recognition of Ganja as their rightful sacrament, we learn how close the Church came to realising a feat that was only achieved decades later; the legalisation of marijuana. Returning to Jamaica, we learn of Brother Niah's passing and discuss at length the impact he had on Alan, the Church, and all those around him.</p><p><br></p><h3><strong>Where to find us?</strong></h3><ul><li><a href=\"https://www.yourbrothercast.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">yourbrothercast.com</a></li><li><a href=\"https://linktr.ee/yourbrothercast\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">linktr.ee/yourbrothercast</a></li></ul><p><br></p><h3><strong>Check out our complimentary content for this episode on our website</strong></h3><ul><li><a href=\"yourbrothercast.com/e8\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">yourbrothercast.com/e8</a></li></ul><h3><br></h3><h3><strong>Credits</strong></h3><ul><li>Production &amp; post-production: <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/alan_yourbrothercast/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Alan</a>, <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/benji_anstey/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Benji Anstey</a>, <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/01daylan/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Taylan Bulbul</a></li><li>Theme Songs: <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/benji_anstey/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Benji Anstey</a> (guitar), <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/dansoultraveller/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Dan Boshoff</a> (guitar), <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/dawudmk1/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Dawud Petersen</a> (bass), <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/nkanyeziiijeenyus/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Nkanyezi Ngwenya</a> (percussion), <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/wallflower_idle/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Conor Hugo</a> (sound engineer), <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/joshjriley/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Joshua Riley</a> (mixing and mastering)</li><li>Visuals and website: <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/01daylan/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Taylan Bulbul</a></li><li>Reggae song: <a href=\"https://www.epidemicsound.com/track/2EyHiw3LK1/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Lawd a Massi by Lou Ricard</a></li><li>Font (ChemyRetro) by <a href=\"https://blogfonts.com/author/Jay%20Batchelor\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Jay Batch</a></li></ul>","author_name":"Alan, Benji Anstey, Taylan Bülbül"}
