OCM-RETL-25-000344What Counts as Kosher in the Cannabis Aisle

Kosher Cannabis FAQ
Quick answers to what we hear most often from Spring Valley customers. Don't see yours? Call (845) 406-3004.
Is cannabis kosher?
Cannabis flower itself is a plant, and plants are naturally kosher. Where it gets nuanced is with edibles, gummies, chocolates, drinks, and anything infused, because that's where added ingredients (gelatin, flavorings, glycerin) can change the answer. Look for a kosher symbol on the package, or just ask us.
Do you stock OU, OK, Star-K, or Kof-K certified products?
Yes. Several brands on our Spring Valley shelf carry one of the recognized hechshers. Inventory rotates, so the move is to ask any budtender what's currently certified. We'll show you the symbol on the packaging.
Are your gummies kosher?
Some are, some aren't. It depends on the brand and whether they use gelatin (animal-derived) or pectin (plant-based). Pectin-based gummies from certified brands are usually the simplest path. Tell us at the counter and we'll point you there.
Is smoking flower considered kosher?
Cannabis flower is plant matter with no animal derivatives, so it's broadly considered acceptable. Different rabbinical authorities take different views on cannabis use itself. That's a conversation for your rabbi, not your budtender. What we can tell you is what's on the shelf.
Do you carry anything Passover-friendly (kosher for Pesach)?
Some certified edible brands publish a Passover-acceptable list each year. Selection changes seasonally. Call ahead or swing by closer to the holiday and we'll tell you exactly what's available that week.
