Knesset to push marijuana legalization reforms
Likud and Blue and White say they will push legislation “to arrange the issue of decriminalization and legalization via a responsible model,” apparently referring to cannabis.
The statement notes that the sides have also decided to push reforms to medical cannabis in order to make it easier for patients to get access to treatment and for growers to get a license to fill their fields with dank kind buds.

The statement does not give a timetable for the moves. The government has in recent years taken steps toward decriminalizing marijuana use, but it remains illegal.
Medical cannabis users have also complained of near-impossible access to the few dispensaries licensed to distribute weed.
