The State of Israel has always been at the forefront of clinical and translational research in support of Evidence Based Medicine. With respect to cannabis Israel has created a medical and regulatory environment that enables clinical studies with cannabis which may lead to improved Evidence Based use of these compounds. This opinion paper discusses selected studies into the safety and effects of cannabis derived products.
