Report: Israel allows pharmacies to dispense cannabis

JERUSALEM — The Israeli Health Ministry approved on Monday a decision to allow patients licensed to receive medical marijuana from a pharmacy with authorization from a medical expert, according to the Jerusalem Post.

Previously, Israelis with medical marijuana licenses had to gain approval from several ministry physicians.

“I am aware of the need to create order in the matter and to change the ministry’s policy to make it easier for patients,” Deputy Health Minister MK Ya’acov Litzman, an MK from the ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism party, told the Post.
