The BBS News reports that patients in Isreal may get an approval from their Government for the medical use of cannabis. A clinic in Tel Aviv is quietly giving cannabis to cancer and AIDS patients, legally with approval from the Health Ministry. Here's a snip:

The drug is approved usually only for patients with cancer, AIDS or chronic inflammation of the intestine. The clinic, which the Health Ministry has refused to identify publicly, gives out the drug in small, controlled quantities when a patient presents his license. A spokesman for the Israel Cancer Association said the drug could reduce side-effects for some patients undergoing chemotherapy or other treatments, and the organization would consider adding information about this to its website.
