It&#8217;s legal, and I&#8217;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&#8217;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Khunrum emails: &#8220;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&#8217;t want to smoke a good splif before getting down to some Alexander? The idea has merit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bob emails: &#8220;Perhaps you should smoke the peace pipe with some of your former rabbis.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You all thought that Luke&#8217;s beard was part of this Orthodox malarkey.  I know why now&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Greg Leake emails: Hi Luke,<br \/>\nyou know, cashing in on medical marijuana could have a bright and promising future.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>It is entirely possible that today&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>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.  &#8220;Luke the Levy Ford&#8217;s special godly dope.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, you need to say screw the carbon credits and start allowing people to do futures contracts on the new commodity of Luke Ford&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>Say, for example, I want to invest in Luke&#8217;s Godly Dope.  How am I going to do it?  I&#8217;ll simply go long on Luke&#8217;s Kosher Dope, and this will give a goy like me an opportunity to participate and contribute to a good cause. I&#8217;ll say forget those orphan kids in the the third-world country, invest in something higher.  Luke the Levy&#8217;s Kogher Dope.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1997: 2011: Chaim Amalek emails: &#8220;I think the way to make money in California these days is to sell medicinal marijuana.
