Adjective. Origin: Derived from the Ethiopian-centered belief system of Rastafarianism incorporated into American English via Jamaica with Patois influences. [Definition]: (1) A state of being often, though not necessarily brought on by the consumption of quality marijuana, which is characterized by acute sensory perception, lucid cognition- sometimes in the 3rd person perspective - inspiration, introspection, creativity, deliberation, overstanding, ethereal tranquility, social symbiosis, tingling, the bee's knees, giddiness, fleetness, lightness. (2) The effect brought upon any [time] any person hears, or otherwise senses a natural mystic blowin' through the [air]. (3) In slang, the condition of being really, super [stoned], [like] exceedingly baked.
Ex. 1 After visiting Bob [Marley]'s mausoleum in Nine Mile, Jamaica and paying his respects, Ron, a huge, life-[long] fan of Bob [Marley] remarked to his tour guide that he felt different than when he went in, to which his guide responded, "Yeah, [mon]. You's irie, mon. This a special place, here. It make people feel like dat all da [time], mon. True." Ex. 2 At various points along their hike on the Kalalau Trail on the Hawaiian Island of Kauai's rugged, rainforested Na Pali Coast, the hikers felt quite irie, especially so when the rain showers passed, the clouds broke over the Pacific revealing the luminous turquoise sea, and a [rainbow] emerged, spanning the northern horizon. Ex. 3 Curiously, Johnny, Billy, and [Tommy], all of legal age and in possession of valid state-issued medical marijuana cards, decided they would spend April 20th seeing how much weed they could smoke and in how many different ways. By late-afternoon, remnants of cut up milk jugs, tubing, tin foil, and pizza hut strewn Billy's back yard, and the guys all were laying on their backs in the [grass] staring at the sky while Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon played for the 4th [time], since somebody put "repeat" on and they were all too irie to get up to turn it off.
This definition is too long for this mug.
