Pharmacy Regulations
 
As part of the New Regulation, pharmacy owners who wish to sell medical cannabis are required to apply for a dedicated license granted by the IMCA to sell, and store cannabis. Pharmacies are also subjected to regulations of several other governmental bodies including the MOH, the local municipality, and the district pharmacists.
 
Pharmacies must also obtain a business license. Granted by the MOH and the local municipality, business license to operate a pharmacy in Israel requires approval from several authorities including, the fire department, the police, and several other departments in the local municipality. The pharmacy is also required to comply with the MOH and district pharmacists’ requirements, which includes different security measures, certain safety protocols, and compliance with the requirements for storage of narcotics (including cannabis).
 
In addition, pharmacies require a GDP license to sell medical cannabis. Granted by the IMCA after obtaining the final business licenses, the license to sell medical cannabis is subjected to compliance with GDP and GSP standards of the IMCA, which include, but not limited to, full compliance with the GSP protocols, which are dedicated security measures for storage (which is subject to certain capacity limitations). Under the GDP, only certified cannabis pharmacists are allowed to sell cannabis and advise patients.
 
Medical Cannabis Transportation Regulations
 
The transportation of medical cannabis is also subjected to the GDP and GSP standards and requires a transport license from the IMCA. Certain security measures are applied to the transportation of medical cannabis which vary in accordance with the quantities shipped and where the product is shipped to. For example, shipping cannabis from manufacturers to wholesalers requires armed vehicles and with security personnel while home deliveries require lighter security measures as long as the quantity handles is less than one kilogram.

Export & Import of Pharmaceutical-Grade Cannabis
 
The State of Israel is bound by the Narcotics Convention, which governs the import and export of cannabis between countries that are a party to the Narcotics Convention. The Narcotics Convention is an international treaty to prohibit the production and supply of specific drugs (nominally narcotic drugs and drugs with similar effects) except under license for specific purposes, such as medical treatment and research. The Commission on Narcotic Drugs and the World Health Organization were empowered to add, remove, and transfer drugs among the Narcotics Convention’s four schedules of controlled substances. The International Narcotics Control Board was authorized to administer controls on drug production, international trade, and dispensation. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime was delegated the Board’s day-to-day work
