May 13, 2009. Rick Doblin, Mike Corral Visit Israel to Help Medical Marijuana Program. |
From April 19 to April 22, 2009, MAPS President Rick Doblin went to Israel to work with Ministry of Health-approved medical marijuana producer Yohai Golan and Golans investors. Ricks efforts in Israel involved consulting with the Ministry of Health about the possibility of allowing production facilities to sell marijuana to Ministry of Health-approved patients in order to create a sustainable system.
Currently, the Israeli government has only given Golan, and several other producers, permission to give away the medicine they grow, but not to sell it. Rick is hopeful that the Ministry of Health will eventually permit sales of marijuana, but he recognizes that the wheels of bureaucracy turn slowly.
On Tuesday, May 12, 2009, Mike Corral--an experienced medical marijuana grower from the Wo/mens Alliance for Medical Marijuana--arrived in Israel to consult with three different growing facilities on techniques to maximize yield while reducing costs. An anonymous donor funds Mikes work in Israel through MAPS.

Medical Marijuana Legally Available in Israel,
Patients may get an approval from the government for the medical use of cannabis |
Sunday, January 20 2008 -
Edited by: Michael Hess

BBSNews 2008-01-20 -- (IACM) A Tel Aviv medical clinic has quietly begun giving cannabis to cancer and AIDS sufferers, legally and with Health Ministry approval. The clinic began giving the drug to patients about six months ago. By Israeli law, cannabis can legally be used as a medicine if a patient obtains a special approval from the Health Ministry. The cannabis is grown in Israel.
The drug is approved usually only for patients with cancer, AIDS or chronic inflammation of the intestine. The clinic, which the Health Ministry has refused to identify publicly, gives out the drug in small, controlled quantities when a patient presents his license. A spokesman for the Israel Cancer Association said the drug could reduce side-effects for some patients undergoing chemotherapy or other treatments, and the organization would consider adding information about this to its website.

Medical Marijuana in Israel - 420 Magazine | www.420magazine.com |
While the U.S. government was busily denouncing medical marijuana as some sort of “drug legalizer” conspiracy, one of America’s closest allies in the world quietly set up a medical marijuana program. Israel’s medical marijuana program has gotten virtually no press in the U.S., but this Jerusalem Post article from a few months ago has some of the basics.
Medical marijuana access is restricted to a handful of indications such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, and Crohn’s disease, and to patients for whom conventional medicines have failed. This week, Dr. Yehuda Baruch, who runs the program, told me that a total of 222 patients have gotten government approval to use medical marijuana, with 113 actively in the program at present.
Israel, of course, is one of America’s closest allies, with both President Bush and Democratic candidate Barack Obama regularly speaking of America’s “special relationship” with that small nation. But perhaps Drug Czar John Walters thinks that Israel, too, is part of the conspiracy to “fool” the public into thinking marijuana is medicine.

Medical Marijuana OK in Israel and Germany, U.S. Stuck in 1937
By Marijuana Policy Project, Reforming U.S. Marijuana Laws - February 18, 2009
|
Many people are at least vaguely aware that government-sanctioned medical marijuana programs exist in Canada and the Netherlands. But few Americans are aware that another of America’s strongest allies, Israel, also has a national medical marijuana program.
And, according to a translation posted by MAPS of a recent article in the Israeli newspaper Maariv, that program is growing.
Three hundred patients are now enrolled, representing a 1,400% increase in new permissions to use medical marijuana in the last two years, according to the paper.
Strikingly, the program includes not only the obvious indications like neuropathic pain or nausea and vomiting related to treatments for cancer or HIV/AIDS, but conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder that are often not included in U.S. medical marijuana laws, though there is reason to believe that marijuana may be helpful for at least some PTSD patients.

It would be extremely easy for existing companies to create these items if marijuana was legal or decriminalized.
It's possible that as laws are relaxed, the smoking of pot could become obsolete for pain relief as people figure out how to use it most effectively.

N.J. Senate approves medical marijuana bill -
Monday, December 15, 2008 |
TRENTON BUREAU:
A Senate committee today cleared a measure that would allow medical use of marijuana in New Jersey.
The Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee voted to approve the long-stalled bill by a 6 to 1 margin; two senators abstained.
The bill calls for creating “alternative treatment centers” where people with chronic and terminal diseases would be allowed access to marijuana. Supporters say marijuana is a viable treatment option to alleviate pain in many cases.
“It is the definition of basic human decency that we do whatever we can to ease the pain and suffering of people living with severe chronic and terminal diseases,” said bill sponsor Sen. Nicholas Scutari, D-Union.
“When all other avenues of currently-approved pain relief have been exhausted, we need to give doctors the freedom to prescribe medical marijuana to give their patients a measure of comfort and dignity in the face of their debilitating diseases. This bill is about the most humane, compassionate option for those state residents who have nowhere else to turn in managing their illnesses.”
If ultimately approved by the full Legislature and signed by Governor Corzine, New Jersey would be the 14th state to allow medical use of marijuana.

A new study entitled Marijuana Effectiveness as an HIV Self-Care Strategy, which was released this past weekend in Clinical Nursing Research, indicates that persons living with HIV/AIDS rate cannabis as more effective in treating the symptoms of anxiety, depression, fatigue, diarrhea, and neuropathy than other prescription and over the counter medications.
The study, which was conducted over a two year period and included 775 patients from the USA, Africa, and Puerto Rico, assessed the use of cannabis as a symptom management approach for anxiety, depression, fatigue, diarrhea, nausea, and peripheral neuropathy. 27% of survey participants reported using cannabis for medicinal purposes.
Researchers wrote that cannabis use “was rated slightly more effective than antidepressants for anxiety and depression, Imodium for diarrhea, [over the counter] (OTC) medications for fatigue, and anti-epileptics and OTC medications for neuropathy” while cannabis was rated “slightly less effective for nausea than either prescribed or OTC medications.” Authors concluded that cannabis “is perceived by users as at least as effective as prescribed medications in symptom management.”

Announcement to physicians and therapists |
An International Conference on Integrative Medicine will be held in October 2010 in Jerusalem.
It will be a meeting of professionals in the field of medicine from around the world that will deal with ways to unite the scientific principles of modern medicine with the holistic principles of alternative medicine.
In order to give all those interested the possibility to participate (or to give a paper)
we hereby announce that registration has started.
The scientific committee of the convention is still open to accept additional topics to the conference program.
The Conference |
In the last 100 years the world of medicine has seen a true historical revolution. The accomplishments of modern medicine surpass the imagination, from overcoming diseases and saving lives, to organ transplants and improving the quality of life.
But modern medicine is based on the principal of "Evidence-Based Medicine" and anything that doesn't conform to this criterion is pushed aside. Thus all therapies not based on scientific proof have been expelled from the world of western medicine.
However, the public has continued using these therapies, which were given outside the formal medical system, and therefore referred to as "alternative medicine".
More details are available in the Conference site:

ISRAELI GOVERNMENT APPROVES GUIDELINES FOR MEDICAL MARIJUANA
| Cabinet Agrees on Arrangements and Supervision of Marijuana Supply in Medical Centers and for Research; 6,000 People in Israel Currently Treated With Medical Cannabis.
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.

Israel & Canada Move Ahead, while US Lags Behind in Medical Marijuana Research
Wednesday, January 23, 2008, 4:23:20 PM | Rebecca Saltzman (ASA) |
Earlier this month, there were two exciting developments for medical cannabis internationally. In Israel, a Tel Aviv medical clinic began dispensing medical cannabis to patients in need, while in Canada, a federal court ruling ended the monopoly a federal contractor has on supplying cannabis to patients, opening up possibilities for dispensaries and collective production of medicine.
Our international counterparts may be surging ahead in their paths to provide safe access for patients who benefit from medical cannabis, but here in the US, it’s sometimes hard to move to the conversation about access when our government barely budges on research issues. The DEA continues to uphold a monopoly on the production of cannabis for research, even though it’s own administrative law judge recommended ending this monopoly by granting a license to Professor Lyle Craker to grow research material.

Aided by Israel’s strong reputation in science and medicine, the medical marijuana industry in Israel is to set to expand with official government support, the Associated Press reported.
Unlike in U.S. where the federal government is battling states legalizing medical marijuana, the issue is facing little opposition from the Israeli government. In fact, the Israeli Health Ministry is considering the distribution of medical marijuana in pharmacies next year.

Health Ministry plans rehab center for medicinal pot smokers ... Medicinal Cannabis; Health Ministry; ... Israel pushing ahead in medical marijuana industry By ...
Officials decided, based on data gathered by the Health Ministry, to establish a rehabilitation center for patients who have become addicted to painkillers, including medicinal cannabis.
Drug rehabilitation centers aren’t a new concept, but one being built by Israel’s Health Ministry is different: the new facility will help recipients of medical marijuana who had grown addicted to kick the habit.
An undetermined but large percentage of those who are prescribed cannabis as a painkiller have a hard time weaning themselves off it after doctors cease to prescribe it to them, and many of them turn to the illegal drug market to continue smoking pot, Maariv reported on Sunday.

Medical Marijuana Use Sprouting In Israel : NPR

Israel has become a world leader in the use of medical marijuana. More than 10,000 patients have received government licenses to consume the drug to treat ailments such as cancer and chronic pain.
But while the unorthodox treatment has gained acceptance in Israel, it still has its critics.
Susan Malkah breathes in the cloud of smoke from a plastic inhaler especially formulated for medical marijuana use. She has a number of serious ailments and is confined to a wheelchair.
"It's not like we're kids and we're getting high and going out and partying. You take it, you're by yourself usually, you just do it because you want to be in a better place. You don't want to sit and stew in the pain," says Malkah, who has been using cannabis for about two years. "It's natural, it helps, you don't have to fill your body full of chemicals. It's terrific."

Israeli Medical Provider Offers Kosher Cannabis Cookies
By Steve Elliott ~alapoet~ in Dispensaries, Global, Medical
Thursday, April 5, 2012 at 8:20 am
| The graduate of a master class in pastry making has started a company registered with the Israeli Health Ministry and is now baking cannabis cookies for about 350 patients -- and as of this week, they are kosher for Passover.
Moshe Ichiya, a graduate of the Estella school's master class in pastry making, runs the company Cannabliss in a location he will describe only as being "in the center of the country," reports Mitch Ginsburg at the Times of Israel. Cannabliss is one of several companies registered with the Health Ministry and is the sole supplier of medicinal marijuana products to the Sharett Institute of Oncology at the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center.
"You see their flyers around the ward," one recent patient said. Patients at Hadassah then call Ichiya.

Montel Williams Came Back From A Visit To Israel Hyped About Its Forward-Thinking Programs To Ease Pain
Medical marijuana advocate Montel Williams was speaking recently in the basement of Washington, DC’s Israel Baptist Church to a group of 150 residents of the neighborhood. The mission of the popular former US talk show host and sufferer of multiple sclerosis? To gain the support of the residents for his plan to open a medical marijuana facility on a nearby street.
Williams, who was diagnosed with MS in 1999, has since been an outspoken advocate of medical marijuana to relieve pain caused by the disease, and uses the drug on a daily basis.

Dr. Ronni Gamzi, director-general of the Israeli Health Ministry, announced last week that the ministry will establish a unit to produce and oversee the supply of medicinal cannabis. The unit will begin operating in January 2012, to meet an anticipated exploding demand without resorting to imports.
Until now, authorization for the use of medical marijuana has been authorized for individual patients by Dr. Yehuda Baruch, a psychiatrist at the government’s Abarbanel State Mental Health Center in Bat Yam. Currently, medical cannabis is supplied exclusively by local growers to some 6,000 patients authorized by Dr. Baruch, but the number is expected to reach 40,000 in 2016.

Israel producing "High-less" Medical Marijuana - Grasscity.com Forums

Medical Marijuana Progress in Israel The name of the strai given is called Avidekel and is said to contain 1% THC 16% CBD. CBD vs. THC For a country
CBD vs. THC
For a country that was never that big on tolerance, Israel is proving to be a pioneer in medical marijuana research. To be more precise, the country’s decision to grow medical marijuana with an extreme CBD to THC ratio is commendable to say the least. CBD (Cannabidiol) is a substance found in marijuana, which has anti-inflammatory characteristics. In fact, the effect of this particular substance is quite specific as it can be used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, liver inflammation, diabetes and heart conditions. Yet, this strain of marijuana, named Avidekel, will not get you high.
Avidekel
Avidekel contains about 16% CBD and less than 1% of THC. It is best suited for patients who want to reap some of the medical benefits of cannabis without getting high. Because, lets face it, when you get high, you’re probably not the most active individual in the world. And most of these patients do want to keep their active daily routine. Grown on the hilltops of Northern Israel, the crops are many and security is expectedly quite rigorous. The scent is felt throughout the compound and a sea of green spreads as far as the eye can see.

Yup, you read that right – we’re going to talk about ultra-conservative Israel and its liberal attitude towards the use of marijuana as medicine. There’s also some celebrity gossip in here, so this might just be the post that has everything!
Montel Williams, who at the height of his career with his long-running, Montel Williams Show, was one of the most recognizable faces in the US, has had a very personal interest in medical marijuana since he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1999. Williams, who says he uses cannabis on a daily basis to help with his painful condition, is scathing about the American government’s attitude to a plant he sees not as a scourge but a saviour.

Cannabis in Israel
Marijuana and hash in the holy land
Policy and practice of cannabis in Israel: Legislation & enforcement, tolerance & availability, weed & hash - everything you need to know about cannabis in Israel.
Marijuana and hash are very common in Israel generally, and in Tel Aviv in particular. some party fliers you find in bars and restaurants are even perforated into roaches so even if you aren't interested in a party you are at least more equipped. Most people in Israel are relatively open-minded about weed; some political parties in the Israeli parliament now support some form of marijuana legalization. The pro-cannabis legalization party, "Ale Yarok" (i.e. "Green Leaf"), although they haven't reached the election threshold yet, gain a lot of support from young people, especially students.

Israel & Canada Move Ahead, while US Lags Behind in Medical Marijuana Research
Wednesday, January 23, 2008, 4:23:20 PM | Rebecca Saltzman
Earlier this month, there were two exciting developments for medical cannabis internationally. In Israel, a Tel Aviv medical clinic began dispensing medical cannabis to patients in need, while in Canada, a federal court ruling ended the monopoly a federal contractor has on supplying cannabis to patients, opening up possibilities for dispensaries and collective production of medicine.

legalizing marijuana in israel
what would you people think? is such an idea possible?
last elections, aleh yarok came pretty close to getting their 2 seats in the knesset. i wonder what kind of effect they would have had on israeli politics, let alone their cause to have marijuana legal for everyone to buy and smoke. i doubt they could get a majority of 61 people to go along with this request.
otherwise, i am one of the many people who think that making the drug legal isnt all that important. its not like people cant do it as much as they want today and now. or can they?

SAFED, Israel, July 3 (Reuters) - They grow in a secret location in northern Israel. A tall fence, security cameras and an armed guard protect them from criminals. A hint of their sweet-scented blossom carries in the air: rows and rows of cannabis plants, as far as the eye can see.
It is here, at a medical marijuana plantation atop the hills of the Galilee, where researchers say they have developed marijuana that can be used to ease the symptoms of some ailments without getting patients high.

SOME TRULY GOOD NEWS FROM ISRAEL
MAYBE NETEN YAHOO AND ABBAS CAN HAVE A PEACE PIPE TOGETHER
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.

US Government Says It Will Stop Interfering with Medical Marijuana |
According to this article, US Attorney General Eric Holder has said that states will be allowed to make their own rules about medical marijuana, and that the US federal government will stop raiding medical marijuana dispensaries in California. (See article “Can Marijuana Help Rescue California’s Economy?”at this link)
In the 1990s, several US states passed referendums which allowed marijuana to be used legally for medical purposes. In a referendum, the registered voters vote directly on the proposed law, as opposed to the law being passed by the state legislature. Thus, when these states passed these referendums, it meant that the citizens of these states really wanted medical marijuana to be made legal.
However, in a blatant disregard for democracy and the people’s will, under the Bush administration, the national government refused to accept this law, and carried out raids of the medical marijuana dispensaries.

Informational Guide on Medical Cannabis |
If you have ever heard of the song, “Lets Go Get Stoned,” as sung by Ray Charles or Joe Cocker, you know the lyrics were referring to getting high or using cannabis aka marijuana. This mind altering drug goes by other names as well; names such as weed, pot, joint, blunt, hash and mary jane are quite common among users. Cannabis is a plant that contains a chemical called cannabinoids or cannabinolidic acids.
Another substance that is found in cannabis is THC, or Tetrahydrocannabinol, which gives the users that “high” sensation. When speaking of marijuana, the actual substance used in creating the high feeling comes from the leaves and flowering tops of the cannabis plant. Marijuana is considered to be a schedule 1 controlled substance today, because of the THC, which can be highly potent, depending upon the concentration factor of the THC.

1. Since 1996, twelve states have legalized medical marijuana use: AK, CA, CO, HI, ME, MT, NV, NM, OR, RI, VT, and WA. Eight of the twelve did so through the initiative process. Hawaii's law was enacted by the legislature and signed by the governor in 2000, Vermont's was enacted by the legislature and passed into law without the governor's signature in May 2004, Rhode Island's was passed into law over the governor's veto in January 2006, and New Mexico's legislation was signed into law by Governor Bill Richardson on April 2, 2007.
2. The Institute of Medicine's 1999 report on medical marijuana stated, "The accumulated data indicate a potential therapeutic value for cannabinoid drugs, particularly for symptoms such as pain relief, control of nausea and vomiting, and appetite stimulation."

Proven : Cannabis is Safe Medicine
by Ian Williams Goddard | In reaction to medical cannabis access referendums on the ballots in Arizona and California, former presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and George Bush signed a letter stating that they "categorically oppose'' access to cannabis for its many proven therapeutic uses such as the prevention of blindness and epileptic seizures. Their chief concern was that legal medical access would send the message that cannabis is safe. The presidents can, however, lay their safety concerns to rest because the scientific literature overwhelmingly confirms that cannabis is both an effective and safe medicine.
The Cannabis Safety Profile. The journal PHARMACOLOGICAL REVIEWS reports that decades of research prove that, "Compared with legal drugs...marijuana does not pose greater risks." Yet based upon mortality statistics, we can safely conclude that cannabis is one of the safest medical drugs known, for, while prescription drugs, defined as safe by the FDA, kill up to 27,000 and aspirin up to 1,000 Americans per year, cannabis kills 0 per year.
