The holiday of lights is super lit. Get holy and high with these Hilchot Marijuanakkah, the real high holy daze.
1) One must light one joint for the first night, and two joints for the second, etc. One must go up in number, not down.
2) One must share their stuff because of the commandment of pirsumai nissah, advertising the miracle of Hannukah.
3) The shamash (“helper”), aka the dealer, can’t get high off of his own supply.
4) Weed oil is preferred, mehudar, but wicks (aka joints) are also okay. Bowls are right out.
5) Virgin seed is mehudar.
6) The miracle of Marijunakkah is that a nickel bag kept the Maccabees high for eight days.
7) Fried munchies. Nuff said.
8) Your weed should be high enough for pedestrians to see but low enough to avoid the Greeks (the police).
9) Only get high at night. It’s not permitted to get high in the daytime hours.
10) After lighting (up), you’re obligated to sing.
11) The Menorah should not be moved after is has been lit. Likewise, don’t go anywhere after lighting up.
12) On Friday evening, smoke more before sunset, because you can’t light up on Shabbat.
13) If one is a guest, he should give the owner a small amount of money to buy a portion of their marijuana; they may fulfil their obligation of Marijuanakkah through the owner.
Caveat emptor: I don’t smoke, but I am addicted to the internet, which helped with this article.
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
