In my recent post on Jews in the Marijuana Legalization movement I covered my former Rabbi, Jeffrey Kahn, extensively. Reason TV did an interview with him about the medical marijuana business.
Rabbi Kahn closes the video with “ameliorating human suffering is more important than just about any law.” And it is not just his opinion. It is the opinion of Jewish Rabbis almost unanimously. Why do I say “almost”? Because there might be one who disagrees. But I couldn’t find that one.
