The Emmy Winner and popular TV presenter Montel Williams, an ardent supporter of the marijuana legalization, tried to find an approval to his Rastafarian ideas. He organized a meeting with Israeli scientists, medics and lawyers to learn about the practice of the medical usage of marijuana in Israel.
He became the member of the movement for the legalization of marijuana after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Doctors prescribed him to smoke marijuana as a painkiller to block intolerable pain.
The workers of the Sheba Medical Center that he visited, reported that marijuana is the least harmful among existing painkillers. At the same time it can substitute morphia by its effect.
After getting to the serious business, Montel Williams stated that he is amazed by the fact how the Israeli authorities consider the treatment by marijuana. "Our politicians must use this experience for sure and legalize the medical usage of marijuana or at least become more liberal towards this issue", American activist said.
