Chaim Amalek emails: “I think the way to make money in California these days is to sell medicinal marijuana. It’s legal, and I’ll bet AT types (students) occasionally find themselves in need of some medicinal marijuana. What does it take to become a licensed seller of medical marijuana? I’ll bet there are people in all of the circles Luke has moved in who would appreciate purchasing this legal substance from a man who pines to be their moral leader, and who has gotten into the trade with a Torah outlook.”
Khunrum emails: “Perhaps Luke could peddle ganja from a pushcart like the Jewish peddlers of yore. Instead of ringing a bell he could get customers attention with some Grateful Dead tunes (no Air Supply please). And who wouldn’t want to smoke a good splif before getting down to some Alexander? The idea has merit.”
Bob emails: “Perhaps you should smoke the peace pipe with some of your former rabbis.
“You all thought that Luke’s beard was part of this Orthodox malarkey. I know why now…”
Greg Leake emails: Hi Luke,
you know, cashing in on medical marijuana could have a bright and promising future.
To the best of my knowledge, modern Orthodox Jews are crying out for a marijuana producer who understands the vital need for a kosher product.
It is entirely possible that today’s producers are using non-kosher implements and non-kosher manufacturing processes. Frankly, this forces Orthodox Jews to violate their most precious religious precepts every time they light up. Obviously, this is an untenable situation.
How does one go about putting that U on a marijuana package? Luke (the Levy) Ford. With marijuana grown, culled, and produced entirely within the celestial realm of a higher authority. “Luke the Levy Ford’s special godly dope.”
Additionally, you need to say screw the carbon credits and start allowing people to do futures contracts on the new commodity of Luke Ford’s Godly Dope. You will need to make liquidity in the new kosher dope market, and this will require futures contracts on the Chicago commodities exchange.
Say, for example, I want to invest in Luke’s Godly Dope. How am I going to do it? I’ll simply go long on Luke’s Kosher Dope, and this will give a goy like me an opportunity to participate and contribute to a good cause. I’ll say forget those orphan kids in the the third-world country, invest in something higher. Luke the Levy’s Kogher Dope.
