Share to twitterIsrael has recently been in the news after the government issued its long-delayed final approval of medical cannabis exports. Still, Israel’s most important cannabis export will arguably continue to be clinical data.
What’s absurd, she notes, is that in some places, opioid use is a disqualifying condition for medical cannabis use.
