Israel recently took steps toward normalizing CBD and related cannabinoids, declaring the hemp compound is not a drug, though observers say the path to market for such products is likely to be a long one.
The Health Ministry announced this week that it was striking the popular compound from Israel’s Dangerous Drug Ordinance after a government-appointed committee returned recommendations following a months-long study, reported HempToday. The policy legalizes the entire “CBD family” of compounds if THC content is no more than 0.3%.
