Israeli government approves guidelines for medical marijuana
August 7, 2011 - haaretz.com
The Israeli government approved on Sunday arrangements and supervision regarding the supply of cannabis for medical and research purposes.
A statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's media adviser said "the Health Ministry will – in coordination with the Israel Police and the Israel Anti-Drug Authority – oversee the foregoing and will also be responsible for supplies from imports and local cultivation."
Of approximately 6,000 Israelis currently being treated with medical cannabis (aka medical marijuana), most suffer from chronic pain and terminal illnesses. The therapeutic potential of cannabis has been known for many years and is recognized by the Health Ministry.
But many patients – such as sexual assault victims suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), who have been recommended psychiatric treatment with medical cannabis - encounter bureaucratic obstacles.

Should we be treating PTSD with THC?

So, is that for Israelies, or Israelies and Palestinians?

Now watch the U.S. withdraw all support to Israel because they approved medical marijuana.

Hah! As if.
Would be  if the US started bombing Israel for being part of the war on drugs, and not for, say, the USS Liberty.

Joking...somewhat. But if there's two things the American government hates, it's marijuana and muslims. Gonna have to pick which one it hates more.
