Enforcement posture
The procedure sets quality requirements for medical cannabis production under the Israel Ministry of Health Medical Cannabis Unit.
History of changes
The procedure number is 152, dated July 2016; the local copy identifies update 5 in March 2024.
How it compares
The Israel action levels are less stringent for lead than several US state cannabis tables but more stringent for mercury than the Nevada 0.4 ppm action level.
