Israel

overview

Israel remains at the forefront of cannabis research, agriculture and development. It is the home of Prof Mechoulam, who was the first person to isolate the compounds THC and CBD and to study the endocannabinoid system. 

Israel is also where CiiTECH founder and CEO Clifton Flack co-founded iCAN Israel-Cannabis which today brings the global cannabis industry and thought leaders together to the global cannabis summit – CannaTech.

what we do

We are reinvesting profits back into research to further understand the potential of the cannabis plant and developing indication specific formulas. 

CiiTECH works closely with leading institutions in Israel to research cannabis, including a new partnership, together with Prof. Yossi Tam and the Hebrew University to further develop their research on the involvement of the endocannabinoid system and metabolism. 

LAWS

All though Israel is a pioneer and leader when it comes to cannabis. The laws and regulations are much more stringent than some other countries such as the UK, USA, or Canada. In order to possess cannabis in Israel, one must obtain a medical license. 

Israel has updated its Dangerous Drugs Ordinance 1973 to exclude CBD-based products from the list. This is a step forward however a medical license is still required to obtain CBD.
