Our Mission

You know, it’s a funny thing, every one of the bastards that are out for legalizing marijuana is Jewish. What the Christ is the matter with the Jews, Bob?…” Richard Nixon May 26, 1971. Even Nixon recognized the Jewish attraction to this G-d given plant. Perhaps it’s because Jews have aged over thousands of years with Cannabis consumption. From the High Priests, to Torah, to Rambam; from the Zohar, to the recent discovery of cannabis resin at an ancient altar in Israel, there is ample historical evidence establishing Jewish ancestral roots to this seed bearing “grass”. Additionally, One cannot deny that as only 0.2% of the world population, it is indeed peculiar that the cannabis industry is full of Jewish professionals & advocates. With this fact unmistakably obvious, The International Jewish Cannabis Association was established in 2016 to embrace and further enhance the Jewish legacy in Cannabis. We accomplish this mission by bringing Jews in Cannabis together around our sacred tenets of wisdom (education), unity, tzedakah & tikkun olam.
