Israel's Medical Marijuana
The standard image of cannabis is twofold. First is the one presented in the West’s films and pop subculture. Cannabis, also known as marijuana and “grass,” has been famous for centuries as a psychoactive, dreamy substance which, at the same time, is illegal in most countries and attracts a penalty if the user is caught.
The second attitude is one of recreational use in places like the Netherlands, where cannabis is openly ingested in the infamous cafes, with a denial that it is any more harmful than alcohol.
INNOVATIVE ISRAEL has taken a third path and put the nefarious weed into its proper place by recognizing it as medicine. And like all medicine, it has the potential for misuse.

Governor Schwarzenegger signs bill to decriminalize marijuana
The California Governor, Schwarzenegger, who opposes Proposition 19, this morning signed a landmark bill in the state of California which decriminalizes the possession of marijuana. For those wondering, this does not make marijuana possession legal, but it no longer will be a misdemeanor offense. Instead of the mandatory fine of $100 as well as the mandatory appearance in front of a judge, the outcome of being caught with marijuana will now simply be a $100 fine. The new law will be in effect on January 1st and include anyone caught with up to an ounce of marijuana. Basically the possession of the drug is seen no different by California now than speeding is.
Schwarzenegger signed the bill because it will save the state a ton of money since there will no longer need to be a judge and attorneys appointed to each and every one of the misdemeanor offenses involving marijuana possession. Last year alone there were 60,000 Californians caught with the drug, and in the last decade approximately 500,000 offenders.
Schwarzenegger however remains against November’s Proposition 19 (known as Prop 19) vote to legalize the drug.
