Well no shit, finally a place that realizes the value of the good herb. Well over 50 perc of soldiers in vietnam used marijuana. I bet the soldiers would love that shit in Iraq.:pimp:

"The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) medical corps, in cooperation with the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, is introducing the use of THC, the active agent in the cannabis plant, which helps relieve post-traumatic stress disorders, on an experimental basis," an army statement said, confirming a report in the Maariv daily.

Maariv said the mental health department of the Medical Corps was set to to begin tests on volunteers suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder after reserve duty.

Hundreds of Israelis have been treated for combat stress after performing their mandatory national service in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

The scientist who will help conduct the experiment, heads a research team which discovered that cannabis helped mice which had suffered physical stress, and had even reduced the risk of stroke, Maariv said.

The army said the use of THC, which stands for tetrahydrocannabinol, had been approved by a military and a civilian committee.

That's awesome. I read that Israel companies want to use Virginia as a gateway to America. There's something called the "Virginia Israel Advisory Board".

"And thatā??s what the Life Science Event ā??Turning Israeli Science into Global Goldā? (March 22 in Tel Aviv) is all about. Nobody in the Israeli Life Sciences should miss this event. This will be the most hands on, practical event you could attend."

It's about time. The more positive publicity medical marijuana gets, the sooner it will become legalized in the entire US.

And it's defiinitely not difficult to find in India. :smokin: :thumbsup:

If cannabis is used to treat serious diseases then the sufferers have already been given a life sentence, So what is jailing them going to prove?
