Kannabosem

Can I chill?

It is a fair question to ask a country that has not exhaled since October 7th. This is not a new party — it is Aleh Yarok, the Green Leaf party, founded in 1999 by Boaz Wachtel and on the ballot ever since. The name is new. The argument is twenty-seven years old, and it was right the whole time.

Enter the era of the superchill.

Twenty seconds. Mobile number only.

קְנֵה בֹשֶׂם

Two hundred and fifty units of aromatic cane, in the recipe for the holy anointing oil, Exodus 30:23. The name is not a joke about getting high. It is an argument about what was in the oil, and it is the oldest argument we have.

Twenty-seven years of being early

Boaz Wachtel founded Aleh Yarok in 1999, when saying any of this out loud cost you your seriousness. He is one of the world's pioneering ibogaine researchers, and he put this platform on an Israeli ballot a quarter of a century before a US President signed an order naming ibogaine, before a posek was asked whether the plant is kosher for Pesach, and before the country had a generation of untreated trauma to account for. Everything on this site is built on ground he cleared. We changed the name. We did not start the argument, and we are not going to pretend we did.

On Knesset letterhead

The Deputy Speaker of the Knesset, on the wellness centre

We are working together moving forward plans for a sustainable wellness center on their land in Sde'i Trumot.

MK Nissim Vaturi, Deputy Speaker of the Knesset

Written on behalf of Trippy.VC and its founders Harry Rozenberg and Yitz Klein, about providing soldiers and the general population access to alternative therapies for PTSD and trauma. It is the clearest outside confirmation that the land at Sde Trumot and the wellness centre on it are real and are being worked on with people inside the Knesset.

Read both for what they are. The letter concerns Trippy.VC and the wellness centre project, and the photograph records a meeting. Neither is an endorsement of this party, of its platform, or of any candidate standing for it. MK Vaturi sits with Likud and wrote about a healing centre, not an election; the Prime Minister has endorsed no party but his own. We publish them because they corroborate the land and the work, and for no other reason.

On the record

Rav Chaim Kanievsky zt"l is shown the plant

Among the most consulted poskim of his generation, asked the question directly, and ruling that the cannabis plant is kosher for Pesach.

Be precise about what this is. It is a kashrus ruling about a plant — not a heter for use, and not an endorsement of anything. Rav Kanievsky passed away in 5782, long before this party existed, and endorsed no party in his lifetime. We show it because a posek of that stature agreed to be asked the question at all, which is more than the Knesset has managed.

What the era of the superchill actually means

01

Everyone gets treated

Legal, supervised access to cannabis and psychedelic-assisted therapy. Soldiers. Civilians. Arab citizens. Palestinians. Nobody proves a bloodline to be treated.

02

Nobody goes to prison for a plant

Full legalisation, and the records expunged for everyone the old policy turned into a criminal. The people who were jailed for helping patients should not have been.

03

The economy of calm

Healing tourism, agriculture, clinics, research. An industry built on treating this region's trauma, employing this region's people, on both sides of the fence.

Who is leading it

Rabbi Tzvi Yoel (Harry) Rozenberg stands at number one. He is an ordained rabbi and a co-founder of a psychedelic-medicine DAO, he made aliyah in 2013, he lives in Jerusalem with his wife and four children, and he has spent close to two decades on the legal frameworks that let people reach this medicine. He has never served in the IDF and says so on his own website.
