Medical cannabis is set to hit pharmacy shelves in Israel in the form of cigarettes, cookies and oil, while the number of doctors permitted to prescribe the natural painkiller and the number of farmers allowed to grow it will substantially increase, according to a Health Ministry reform. At the same time, the entire production and supply chain will be strictly supervised to ensure that medical cannabis is kept out of the recreational drug market.
