Religious cults can freely take marijuana to "see" their deities, but people in pain or dying cannot. RIDICULOUS!
2. get your facts right

I'm a user of medical marijuana in Israel, and the facts are not correct in this story. Right now, there is only one doctor in Israel that is authorized to prescribe marijuana. This means it takes a very long time to get approval. It took me nearly a year and I had to really chase it up. It is only given out in one location; Bat Yam. Everyone has to travel there to buy it and it is quite expensive. The Israeli health ministry has created a monopoly as only one company is authorized to sell it. I am sure that both parties are making a lot of money out of this arrangement!
3. Don't Bogart that joint my friend!

4. Not only one place #2
Tel Aviv   (11.01.11)
I drive by a medical marijuana place at least once a week in northern tel aviv. Are you you sure you know all the facts?

Jerusalem   (11.01.11)
Everyone I know who gets it has to pick it up from the Arbabanel hospital in Bat Yam. This is what it says on my license issued by the health ministry. My doctor from Meuhedet confirmed this, but said that in January more doctors in Israel will be able to give it out.
6. More than one doctor and place

There is more than one doctor who can prescribe and more than one place.
