The Israeli government approved on Sunday arrangements and supervision regarding the supply of cannabis for medical and research purposes.
A statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's media adviser said "the Health Ministry will – in coordination with the Israel Police and the Israel Anti-Drug Authority – oversee the foregoing and will also be responsible for supplies from imports and local cultivation."
