Israel: Rabbis advise passing over pot

Herald Sun, Australia

Wednesday 28 Mar 2007

---
MARIJUANA is not kosher for Passover, a pro-cannabis advocacy group
says, advising Jews who observe the week-long holiday's special dietary
laws to take a break from smoking the weed.

The Green Leaf Party announced today that products of the cannabis plant
have been grouped by rabbis within a family of foods such as peas, beans
and lentils that is off-limits to Jews of European descent during Passover.

The Green Leaf Party, which has made several unsuccessful attempts to
win election to Parliament on a platform urging marijuana's
legalisation, said it was issuing its advisory as a service to Jews who
don't want to break ritual law.

But it said the rabbinical ban for the holiday beginning at sunset on
Monday, during which many Jews eat matzos, or unleavened bread, could be
a blessing in disguise.

"Logic dictates that if the rabbis say cannabis is non-kosher for
Passover, it is apparently kosher during the rest of the year," Michelle
Levin, a spokeswoman for the party told the YNet news website.
