The pro-marijuana Green Leaf Party has told followers that marijuana is not kosher for Passover and that those who observe the holiday’s dietary rules should take a break from it. It said products of the cannabis plant, including hemp seeds, had been grouped by rabbis with foods like beans that are off limits. But if cannabis is nonkosher for Passover, it said, “it is apparently kosher the rest of the year.”
So much for Pesachdik hash brownies, I guess. No elaboration on whether Sefardi custom differs from Ashkenazi on this urgent matter. I'll have to check with some of my 'Sixties friends on how this substance would be classified under evolving standards of "eco-kashrut". (Probably depends on whether it was organically grown?)
