Kenya: Cannabis ban upheld, grannies kick for health

What it means

Kenya's High Court rejected a Rastafarian bid to legalize cannabis for religious use, while grandmothers aged 50-80 play football for fitness.

Why it matters

The ruling reinforces strict drug laws, while the grannies' football challenges age stereotypes and shows grassroots sports' role in community health.

How it affects you

Cannabis remains illegal, so you risk arrest for possession. The grannies' football trend may inspire local fitness groups for older adults.
