Israel: Government approves reform to ease access to medical cannabis
http://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Government-approves-reform-to-ease-access-to-medical-cannabis-457800The cabinet voted on Sunday to approve the reform of medical cannabis advocated by Health Minister Ya’acov Litzman, which will ensure uniform quality of the drug and make it possible for authorized patients to receive their supply at pharmacies.
The ministry has promised to expand the number of doctors authorized to approve the legal supply of medical cannabis for patients who need it to relieve severe pain and other purposes.
Although pain from cancer is a significant reason for applying for authorization, marijuana also can help treat glaucoma, lack of appetite in HIV patients, muscle spasms from multiple sclerosis, nausea from chemotherapy, Crohn’s disease and seizures.
