Rastafarians and hippies probably not welcome

I was doing a little research into Jost Van Dyke, which I plan to visit soon, and ran across this:

According to the B.V.I. Immigration and Passport Order,1980, the classes of persons commonly known as Rastafarians, and as hippies are prohibited from entry into the territory. However, persons within these classes may seek special approval from the Chief Minister’s Office by writing in advance to: Permanent Secretary, Chief Minister’s Office, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands, fax: 284.494-6413.

That makes me desperately want to call them up and ask about this possibility. “Excuse me — I’m not a hippie, but occasionally I think like one. And I have a copy of Legend: The Best of Bob Marley.  Can I still visit?”
