Marley, a heavy pot-smoker, was a militant follower and advocate of Rastafarianism. Students of this movement suggest that Marley became a symbol of “Rasta values and beliefs.” He died of cancer in 1981, though his popularity lives on in some who may be unaware of (or undisturbed by) his heretical religious inclinations.
