Is it OK for Jews to sell legal medical marijuana to the goyim? The only people I know who use dope also use cigarettes and alcohol, and it is hard to figure out which harms them more. My dusky neighbor smokes so much you can almost get high just walking down the hall. Still, this nation is on track to make dope fully legal, provide voting rights to illegals, embrace gay and plural marriage, and then to fold up shop. So why not make a dollar off the goyim while you can by selling them cigarettes, booze, and drugs? It is ok if it helps pay yeshiva tuition?
Chaim: Prohibitions on the sale and use of drugs are a tax on freedom that the strong pay to protect the weak. The closer we get to legalized marijuana (and I hope this is not back-doored in through concern for the needs of the sick), the greater the amount of it that will be consumed in the United States. Yes, levels of consumption would plateau out at some level, but where? Also, do we really want to make people from dope-smoking cultures feel more at home here by legalizing it?
