The Conservative movement's Rabbinical Assembly Committee on Jewish Law and Standards has approved a teshuva (responsum) on cannabis usage, addressing social, legal, and medical issues.

Dr. Raphael Mechoulam, known as the "godfather of cannabis medicine," is a leading Israeli researcher in the field of cannabinoids.

Jews have been increasingly involved in the cannabis industry and culture worldwide, with Israel leading in medical research and North American Jews catching up due to legalization.
