I appreciate their working towards individualization approach. A proper mix of THC and the various cannabinoids, flavinoids and terpines, designed for your particular ailment, makes so much sense. Peace ... j.b.

Marijuana is illegal in Israel, and most all over the world ,,,

Read the article med mj is legal in Israel, the law is more restrictive than ours but as the article indicates Israel is one of the countries that allows research on mmj. Mj is not legal for recreational use there.

They should lead the way to legalize cannabis,,, too many in that area get their heads chopped off for cannabis,,

"In Israel, the law defines marijuana as an illegal and dangerous drug, and there is still no legislation regulating its use for medicinal purposes."

thats from the article. No doubt, the reason why they dont really need any legislation is because 1 company grows all the MM.

 

“I hope we will overcome the legal obstacles for Tikkun Olam and other companies,” Yuli Edelstein, the minister of public diplomacy and diaspora affairs, told journalists during a recent government-sponsored tour of the farm, part of Israel’s effort to brand itself as something beyond a conflict zone. In addition to helping the sick, he said, the effort “could be helpful for explaining what we are about in this country."

SAFED, Israel (AP) — Moshe Rute survived the Holocaust by hiding in a barn full of chickens. He nearly lost the use of his hands after a stroke two years ago. He became debilitated by recurring nightmares of his childhood following his wife's death last year.

"But after I found this, everything has been better," said the 80-year-old, as he gingerly packed a pipe with marijuana.

Rute, who lives at the Hadarim nursing home outside of Tel Aviv, is one of more than 10,000 patients who have official government permission to consume marijuana in Israel, a number that has swelled dramatically, up from serving just a few hundred patients in 2005.

The medical cannabis industry is expanding as well, fueled by Israel's strong research sector in medicine and technology - and notably, by government encouragement. Unlike in the United States and much of Europe, the issue inspires almost no controversy among the government and the country's leadership. Even influential senior rabbis do not voice any opposition to its spread, and secular Israelis have a liberal attitude on marijuana.
