Health Minister Yaakov Litzman today pushed forward with his new directives for medical marijuana, and they were approved by the government.

From now on there will be more doctors approved to give the approval for medical marijuana usage. Also, the medical marijuana will be sold in pharmacies, rather than by a tightly controlled short list of suppliers.

Despite medical marijuana in Israel being much cheaper, and supposedly better quality, than what is available in most other countries, at this time it will not be approved for export (so the growers are upset). Both the Ministry of Internal Security and the Ministry of Health are opposed to opening it up to exports.
