A serious professional, [Laura] Kam [Founder and CEO of Kam Global Strategies, a Jerusalem-based public relations firm] has embarked on a very serious mission to make the State of Israel – where medical cannabis is legal and used therapeutically every day – the world’s center for research and further development of the plant. One thing she knows from the outset is that, for the moment at least, we need not worry about competition in this area from America.
“In the US, cannabis is regulated as a ‘Schedule 1 drug,’ akin to heroin, so there is virtually no research going on with it,” Kam says.
“No institution with ties to the federal government, such as the National Institutes of Health, will do any kind of research on cannabis. Israel has much more liberal cannabis research policies than the US, so investment money has been pouring into Israel for research.

Crusade for Cannabis?
What's next, a Jihad for GHB? Hejira for Heroin?

I got a chuckle out of the title myself. Jews don't go on Crusades - that's a Christian thing, just like jihad is Islamic. As far as I know, Jews just do Holy War, but since I don't speak Yiddish or Hebrew, I don't know the word. But, the story was a good one.
Yiddish holy war
הייליק מלחמה
heylik mlkhmh
Hebrew holy war
מלחמת קודש
I can't tell the difference between those, or Russian, or Chinese. It's all Greek to me!

Today's Jews are Khazarian, not children of Israel and they are a race, not a religion. So holy war for them cannot exist.
Did you know that earning money for honest work is also Jihad? But they don't mention that.
Forget religion, actually. It is messed up.
