Israel set to become major exporter of medical cannabis
2017-08-16
Israel will soon become a major exporter of medical cannabis and be one of the only nations in the world to officially export the plant to countries that approved it for medicinal use, all the while marijuana remains an illegal, controlled substance in Israel.

According to estimates, revenues from the export of Israeli cannabis could reach about NIS 1 billion a year.

#10  street cannabis has hundreds and hundreds of trace substances (some long chain hydrocarbons, some simple compounds of, say mercury, which can do all kinds of things to the user

my understanding is that the medical quality cannabis has many fewer

#8  The psychoactive chemicals in marijuana are dangerously destabilizing for those with a genetic tendency toward schizophrenia,among others, and does cause developmental problems in subadults who use it. The fact that it can be fairly safely used irregularly by those whose brains have matured and who were born with hardier genetic material does not change that risk.

Several years ago the Israelis were working on cannabis strains that retained the medical properties but lost the psychoactive ones. I wonder if that is what's being exported.
