I knew it was Hebrew, but I actually first saw it printed on a pack of 1 1/2 rolling papers years ago.

On the other end it said " after all, it's just a weed that turns to a flower in your mind."

I learnt "Yishka" from a Jewish lady I knew years ago, she definitely didn't smoke though!!

Don't know what "Badishka" means, any ideas?

Its no Hebrew that I know of- sounds more like Yiddish slang.
