The Israeli government this week formally acknowledged the therapeutic utility of cannabis and announced newly amended guidelines governing the state-sponsored production and distribution of medical cannabis to Israeli patients.

A prepared statement posted Monday on the website of office of the Israeli Prime Minister states: “The Cabinet today approved arrangements and supervision regarding the supply of cannabis for medical and research uses. This is in recognition that the medical use of cannabis is necessary in certain cases. 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.”

Just another step forward. I don't see why people can be so cynical about cannabis' eventual legalization: stranger things have certainly happened. It's things like this that bring us closer to a more tolerant, enlightened international climate regarding cannabis use instead of the mainstream seeing it as a boogeyman waiting to steal their kids. There's too much science to deny its medicinal value and too much demand to deny its economic value.
