Research is Haifa's difference
None of the research changes what you can buy: access runs through the Health Ministry licence. The evidence is mixed and often observational; a chronic pain study of 1,045 patients had 551 completing the 12-month follow-up, so drop-out is large. Read claims about cannabis and cancer with that in mind. Licensing steps and pharmacies are in the Israel guide.
Licences cover physical illnesses, chronic pain and PTSD, the only recognised mental-health condition, per Nefesh B'Nefesh, and the ministry committee stressed that long-term PTSD evidence is thin.
Haifa's Rambam Campus is a hospital, not a dispensary; a research programme there does not give a walk-in patient any faster access.
