No unleavened bread, no pot

If you celebrate Passover, you're not allowed to smoke marijuana next week:

However, this apparently does not apply to all Jews. My favorite part of the article:

"But not everyone needs to give up their habit for the duration of the festival. The rabbinic injunctions banning hemp were never adopted by Sephardic Jews, who come from countries in the Middle East and North Africa. That means there is no reason they can't keep smoking marijuana, Levine said, except that it remains illegal, despite her party's best efforts."

That last part struck me funny.

"There's absolutely NO reason you shouldn't steal this car right now, except for that minor point about it being illegal and all."
