Holy Smoke

by [➚] · Wednesday, January 22nd, 2003

Israel may be making moves towards marijuana decriminalization. It appears that the Israeli Green Leaf party (Ale Yarok), whose platform essentially boils down to getting both Israelis and Palestinians high and hoping they’ll mellow out (kidding, kidding), may actually land itself a seat in the Knesset. It’s probably the most sensible thing to be done in 20 years, come to think of it. More on this subject in The Village Voice and The New York Times.

Be on the lookout for our forthcoming feature on Jews & Drugs, due later this year.

"I may attack a certain point of view which I consider false, but I will never attack a person who preaches it. I have always a high regard for the individual who is honest and moral, even when I am not in agreement with him. Such a relation is in accord with the concept of kavod habriyot, for beloved is man for he is created in the image of God." —Rav Joseph Soloveitchik
