User:Bri/Cannabis seder

Cannabis seder or pot seder is the practice of incorporating Cannabis into the Jewish seder (Passover) observation. It may incorporate a haggadah that is part of a tradition of incorporating modern "political and social agendas" into Passover observation.

Alternative names
include "canna-seder" "pot Passover Seder"

Kosher status
Some authorities have determined that cannabis itself is kosher for passover, but some preparations of cannabis edibles may not be, particularly if they involve gelatin. Ethanol extraction may also present a challenge for determination of a concentrate's status under kashrut. Chaim Kanievsky, a rabbi who at the time was considered a leading legal authority in Haredi Judaism, determined in 2016 that cannabis may be consumed during Passover for medicinal purposes.

Reception
Organized groups fostering the cannabis seder include Le'Or in Portland, Oregon, and American Israel Cannabis Association in Denver, Colorado.

The practice has been described as an effort to "synthesize [modern Jewish] experience with the contemporary zeitgeist of the moment", and part of a tradition of incorporating modern "political and social agendas" into the ancient ritual.
