Get back to "US"?....Why don't you do the research on the history of Marijuana in this country...I'll start you off:

The Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 was the first US national law making cannabis possession illegal, with the exception of industrial or medical purposes. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_cannabis

I have no interest in history of illegal substances. The only element that is pertinent for me with regards to Torah is whether it is illegal and whether it is kosher.

A lot of people claim that he was pro vegetarian that nobody should eat meat, but isn't it that they did not want to eat non Kosher meat ya think?
I certainly think so. I do not know whether there is traditional discussion concerning this, but your explanation is certainly what jumped out at me as obvious.

What's the significance behind Jewish last names like, Goldstein, Goldberg, Goldfarb, Goldfeld, Goldhaber, Goldhagen, Goldin, Goldman, Goldwater etc, and then we have Silverstein, Silverberg, Silverman, then we have names like Wolf, Fox?

I would think that many names comes from what you do, I come from a long line of Joseph Olivers who were weavers and so our last name is derived from weaving. But in the ancient arts and families of Jews who were taught the knowledge of working with specific things may have took on the names of what they worked with.


There were whole families raised just to understand and know the art of making incense handed down from father to son, and I would suppose that working with Gold and silver would depict some of their names, I didn't read Rosend's response but he is usually correct from what I see, but I think a lot of people get their names from whatever they did.


It would have been so cool to know the secrets of making incense or to be born in a family that had one job to become experts at, and to be born in a family given to those kinds of things back in the day.

These are all Germanic names that came into existence in the early 1500s that have been Americanized. Gold/Silver in the first part is the material they worked with. The second part is what they did in relation the material. So -stein would have been a person who beat the metal into a shape, -berg was a person who looked for the raw materials -farb was a mixer to create different lusters, -feld was another person who looked for materials, -haber was a person who stored it, -hagen was a transporter, -in is a descriptor, - man was a generic term for any occupation,-waser was father figure or business leader. Wolf is the animal. Fox is also the animal, but probably looked betters than fuchs.
