Israel
to
Set
Standards
for
Medicinal
Use
of
Marijuana
1/29/99
The Israeli Ministry of Health
appointed a six-member panel last week (1/20) to establish guidelines under
which physicians in that country will be permitted to prescribe marijuana
for medicinal use. The Committee, which will include physicians,
public officials and jurists, will define conditions for which such prescriptions
are appropriate, as well as safeguards to insure that the policy is not
used as a loophole for recreational users.
