Israel is one step closer to cannabis legalization, this according to The Jerusalem Post.

According to the publication, “the Ministerial Committee on Legislation decided on Sunday to advance two separate bills that would legalize cannabis.”

The bill would allow people to grow up to two plants and possess up to 50 grams of marijuana provided it is done in a private place with natural light, according to the Post.

Posting over that limit would incur a fine a and public consumption would still be illegal, the publication reports.

After bill passage, retail operation laws would need to be put in place, the Post reported.


MK Ram Shefa, one of who politicians, who entered the bill said he hopes the bill passes swiftly telling the Post:

“Many sick people and other cannabis users will soon be able to breathe easier,” Shefa said. “Israel will soon join liberal countries like Holland and Canada. It is taking a big step toward full legalization.”

Moon Rock Weed: Out of This World

What is Moon Rock Weed?

Definition and Composition with Hash Oil

Marijuana moon rocks are a unique and highly potent cannabis product that combines multiple forms of cannabis into one extraordinary item. The creation process begins with high-quality cannabis buds, which are then coated in hash oil—a concentrated form of cannabis extract. This sticky, oil-covered bud is subsequently rolled in kief, a collection of resin glands found on cannabis flowers. The result is a product that boasts THC concentrations of 50% or higher, far surpassing the typical 15-30% found in standard cannabis strains. This combination of cannabis buds, hash oil, and kief makes moon rocks an exceptionally strong and sought-after product in the cannabis community.

History and Rise to Fame

The creation of marijuana moon rocks is credited to West Coast rapper Kurupt, who brought this potent product into the limelight in the mid-2010s through his brand, Kurupt’s Moonrock. Since their introduction, moon rocks have garnered a reputation as a premium cannabis product, often likened to the “champagne” of the marijuana world. Marijuana moon rocks stand as a symbol of both the uniqueness and evolution within the cannabis industry, representing not only high potency but also the creativity in cannabis culture. Their rise to fame has been fueled by their powerful effects and unique composition, making them a favorite among cannabis enthusiasts. The combination of celebrity endorsement and the product’s exceptional potency has solidified moon rocks’ status as a top-tier choice for those seeking an elevated cannabis experience.

No More DEA Traveler Searches!

Republished from NORML with permission.

Agents affiliated with the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) have been instructed to stop searching travelers at airports or other “mass transportation facilities” without a warrant, following a directive issued by Justice Department’s Office of the Inspector General. The directive, issued earlier this month, followed an investigation by the IG’s office. That investigation determined that DEA personnel lacked adequate training and often failed to properly document their search-related activities.

“The DEA’s failure to collect data for each consensual encounter, as required by its own policy, and its continued inability to provide us with any assessment of the success of these interdiction efforts once again raise questions about whether these transportation interdiction activities are an effective use of law enforcement resources – and leaves the DEA once again unable to provide adequate answers to those questions,” Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz determined.

Landmark PTSD Cannabis OK

For years, military veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have sought alternative treatments beyond traditional pharmaceuticals. Now, after years of regulatory hurdles and advocacy, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a groundbreaking Phase 2 clinical trial to study the effects of smoked marijuana on veterans with moderate to severe PTSD. Funded by tax revenue from Michigan's legal cannabis sales, this research represents a monumental step toward validating cannabis as a legitimate treatment option for PTSD.

PTSD affects millions of veterans, with many turning to medical marijuana for relief. Anecdotal evidence from veterans suggests that cannabis can alleviate anxiety, improve sleep, and reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories. Yet, despite its inclusion in many state-level medical marijuana programs, rigorous clinical data supporting its efficacy has been sparse.
