Are There Kosher Products in Cannabis Stores? A Guide for the Jewish Community in Bayside
By Carson Grant.
As the cannabis industry grows, many customers ask an important question: Are there kosher cannabis products? The answer is yes — and the options continue to expand. For communities around Bayside, Queens, where there is a strong and vibrant Jewish population, access to kosher-friendly cannabis products is becoming more important than ever.
What Makes Cannabis Kosher?
Cannabis in its natural plant form is generally considered acceptable because it is plant-based. The main kosher considerations come into play with edibles, oils, and infused products. For a product to be certified kosher, it must avoid non-kosher ingredients, be made using kosher-approved equipment, and be supervised by a rabbinical authority. Products that meet these standards carry a kosher certification symbol on the package. (Planet 13)
For infused items like gummies or chocolates, the ingredients matter. Gelatin, oils, flavorings, and even the production facility must follow kosher guidelines and be inspected regularly. (Forbes)

• Florist Farms – A well-known New York craft cannabis brand known for quality, transparency, and small-batch cultivation. Jewish ownership and community values play a role in their story and commitment to clean, responsible production.
How Kosher Cannabis Products Are Made
For edibles to be kosher:
• All ingredients must be kosher certified
• Equipment must be cleaned and approved
• Production must be supervised
• No non-kosher animal byproducts are used
Because cannabis flower is a plant, the strictest standards typically apply to edibles and infused products. Kosher certification adds an extra level of trust, showing the product is made cleanly and carefully.
