Availability of Medical Cannabis in Israel to Reach an All-time High
The government has approved a plan that will remove many of the restrictions on growing medical marijuana and make it more readily available to over 23,000 patients in Israel.
According to the proposal, initiated by Health Minister Yaakov Litzman (United Torah Judaism), there will be no limit on the number of growers, there will be more doctors who can issue prescriptions, and cannabis will be available in pharmacies.
For patients being treated with cannabis the new plan is supposed to remove many obstacles. First, additional physicians will be trained and authorized to prescribe cannabis, shortening the waiting time to see a doctor. Second, pharmacies will be authorized to provide medical cannabis to patients who present a prescription, as with any other medication. The pharmacies will have to meet the strict standards of the Internal Security Ministry, as will the transportation companies bringing the substance to the pharmacies.
