Sorry to join a long thread without reading all the posts above but I’m-
Confused.
Without a doubt, the chemicals in marijuana have health benefits.
What I don’t understand is-
Antibiotics, anticonvulsants, antihypertensives, beta-blockers, hypoglycemics- all of these (and many others) also have health benefits. Does the OU give kosher certification to any of these?
When Mrs Elderly Bubbie goes to Shmerel’s Pharmacy, does she ask for the heart meds with the OU? Does Mr Kollel Yungerman, shopping at Lakewood Drug Emporium, request the antibiotic with an OU for his three year old who has an ear infection?
What exactly was the OU trying to accomplish here?
