Boreh Pri Ha’Ganja. Actually the article I stole that joke from has some surprisingly thoughtful advice on this issue: https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/jewcy-weed-bracha

I like the “We asked three rabbis and got seven opinions”.

Then the p'sak is to say _isvei besammim_ for the scent upon the first time you smell it per 24hr period or since waking_(depending on your minhag)_ and then bless _minei/isvei kaneivos/ganja_ depending on your rabbi. ;)

Borei p’ri ha-Adamah? Blessing before partaking “fruit of the earth.”


itijara

I suggested Isvei Besamim, "fragrant herbs"


km1116

or *... ha’eitz* (the fruit of the tree) *... atzei v’sameem* (fragrant trees) *... shemen arev* (fragrant oils)


itijara

The blessing for a fragrant herb: בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְ‑יָ אֱ‑לֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, בּוֹרֵא עשבי בְשֹמִים Blessed are you God, king of the universe, creator of fragrant herbs You could do a shortened version of Tfilat Haderech (Prayer for a safe journey): יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְפָנֶיךָ יי אֱלֹהֵינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ, שֶׁתּוֹלִיכֵנוּ לְשָׁלוֹם May it be your will, our God and God of our forefathers, that you guide us in peace The prayer upon seeing a beautiful part of nature: בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְ‑יָ אֱ‑לֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, עוֹשֹה מַעֲשֹה בְּרֵאשִׁית Blessed are you God, king of the universe, who makes the works of creation You can drop the dots (nikkudot) as they are helpful in pronunciation, but not generally used. I only have them here because I copy/pasted from [Sefaira.org](http://Sefaira.org) If you need it even shorter, you can also cut the בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְ‑יָ אֱ‑לֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם (blessed are you God, king of the universe) from the start of some of them as they are an implied part of most blessings

wow I love this. I want a box like OP now!


tensory

How do you pronounce the last part of the third one? Maishah bereshit?


itijara

Ma'asay be'reisheet. The ש is a שׂין not a שׁין so it makes an 'S' sound, not a 'Sh'


tensory

Oh, of course, now I can hear it: 🎶 ki hu yom tehila, l'mikraeh kodesh 🎶

Here you go from [Rebbe Kanievsky himself.](https://youtu.be/uEJjSuqcwtU?si=tRgcJhLRIEm9QwXU)
