The benefits of molasses are debated, but everyone seems to agree that it is good for soil microbes and bacteria. Now as far as plants that you eat... there may be something to it as a flavor enhancer; I never can quite decide. Either way, the benefit is only slight. However my tomato plants seem to love molasses and the ones that get molasses seem much bushier and healthier than the ones that do not.

And he's Kosher too. See the little U with a circle around it? He's certified by the orthodox union.

No thread jack intended here, but I just wanted to say cool placement of an interesting fact. I dig learning little things like this.

I forgot... cannabis is a one of a kind plant. All that info I gave you was completely irrelevant. That's what I get for trying to be helpful and spare you all the myth. Yeah, feed it molasses water and your buds will taste like candy and they will be 27% smoother. Since molasses is brown it will also help your trichomes to amber up 49% faster and you'll get twice the dry weight. Maybe I should cut and past an advanced nutrients product ad and just replace the product name with molasses; is that more along the lines of what you were looking for? You'll very rarely get any straight forward answers with a great consensus in the gardening world. Learn to weed through the hype and myth and it will get you far.
I apologize for trying to address another posters question at the same time. I've deleted anything related to flavoring.

Honey may be a good addition, I have heard about the anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties of honey, so if you don't need the beneficials, honey could be a great addition. I don't know that honey will kill them off, but I just thought I should mention that.

Honey is kind of expensive if you want the good stuff that isn't from China. Neither honey or table sugar provide much nutritional value for plants. Molasses (blackstrap) contains significant amounts of K, minerals, organic acids, even vitamins.
Anyways, exogenous sucrose is not significantly assimilated by plant roots. In fact they barely absorb any of it at all. But, you see, plant roots do exude substances such as sucrose, glucose among others in order to stimulate the various microbial colonies living in the rhizosphere.
If you do apply sucrose or simple sugars to the soil they will be rapidly utilized by soil biota. However, micro-organisms also need things like minerals in order to grow. Unless you know what you're doing you could end up with real problems. The most desirable and active microbes also require oxygen, just like plant roots. If your soil lacks proper structure; is too compact or over watered, you could easily end up with anaerobic conditions... anaerobes and yeasts in the soil will convert the sugar into potentially toxic substances such as alcohols (ethanol), acetone, and other potentially toxic substances.
