The Feb. 22 issue of j. devoted seven pages to products being produced in Israel today that offer benefits to the entire world. Kudos to j. for introducing its readers to this amazing story of Israel.
I am pleased to note that Israel stands in the front of the nations of the world in exploring the benefits of medical marijuana. Research in this field has been going on for many years and medical marijuana is in use throughout the country under the auspices of the Ministry of Health.
Here in the United States, we see the continuing political “war” pitting states’ rights versus federal law.
Perhaps when President Obama visits in Israel this month he will be shown the great benefits of medical marijuana and will return to the U.S. with a new respect for the many states that have voted for the legalization of medical marijuana.
