Confirmed legal status

Cannabis / THC

Legal status: Cannabis DECRIMINALIZED BY POLICY since 1 Apr 2019, NOT legalized — adult 'small amount' (≤15 g) handled administratively; private-home use no offence; public use three-strikes fines; soldiers/prisoners/minors/police EXCLUDED; 'still forbidden'
Consequences if caught: Cannabis is DECRIMINALIZED BY POLICY, not legalized: since 1 April 2019 (a temporary order after the July 2018 Knesset approval) adult personal use or possession of a 'small amount' (15 g or less) is handled administratively, not as a criminal offence. Private-home use is no offence at all; public use draws a three-strikes graduated fine — first about NIS 1,000 (about USD 275), doubled on the second, the third triggers a criminal investigation / licence loss, the fourth prosecution. CRITICAL: this is decriminalization by temporary order, NOT legalization — per NIDA and the Anti-Drug Authority cannabis use is 'still forbidden.' Soldiers, prisoners, minors and police are EXCLUDED and remain criminal. [draft] A 2020 bill to decriminalize up to 50 g did NOT pass; [draft] 2022 Sa'ar draft regulations (purely administrative use plus record expungement) and [draft] a February 2024 redefinition of 'dangerous drug' to only cannabis above 0.3% THC are proposed only — confirm current status. Cultivation (Sec 6) carries up to 20 years.
If prescribed / medical: Medical cannabis is one of the world's oldest and largest programs (1990s; Israel Medical Cannabis Agency / Ministry of Health; about 130,000–140,000 patients; a January 2024 reform dropped the 'last resort' requirement).

Cultivation (Sec 6) carries up to 20 years and trafficking/import/export up to 20 years (25 years supplying a minor), with 8-year asset seizure. IN-FLUX (flagged, not enacted): [draft] a 2020 bill to decriminalize up to 50 g did NOT pass; [draft] 2022 Sa'ar draft regulations to make personal use purely administrative and expunge records; [draft] a February 2024 redefinition of 'dangerous drug' to only cannabis above 0.3% THC (placing low-THC CBD outside the ordinance) — confirm current status. Medical cannabis is one of the world's oldest and largest programs (1990s; Israel Medical Cannabis Agency / Ministry of Health; about 130,000–140,000 patients; a January 2024 reform dropped the 'last resort' requirement). Israel has NO death penalty for drugs. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Israeli sources (Dangerous Drugs Ordinance (New Version 5732, 1973), incl. Sec 6) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. The cannabis decriminalization-by-policy framework is cannabis-only and does NOT extend to other drugs, which remain criminal (possession or use up to 3 years; cultivation/trafficking up to 20 years).
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Cannabis is DECRIMINALIZED BY POLICY, not legalized: since 1 April 2019 (a temporary order following the July 2018 Knesset approval) adult personal use or possession of a 'small amount' (15 g or less) is handled administratively rather than as a criminal offence; private-home use is no offence at all, while public use draws a three-strikes graduated fine (first about NIS 1,000 / about USD 275, doubled on the second, the third triggers a criminal investigation / licence loss, the fourth prosecution). This is decriminalization by temporary order, NOT legalization — per NIDA and the Anti-Drug Authority cannabis use is 'still forbidden.' Soldiers, prisoners, minors and police are EXCLUDED from the decrim framework and remain criminal. The framework is cannabis-only and does NOT extend to other drugs: cocaine, heroin and MDMA remain criminal (possession or use up to 3 years). Cultivation (Sec 6) carries up to 20 years and trafficking/import/export up to 20 years (25 years supplying a minor), with 8-year asset seizure. IN-FLUX (flagged, not enacted): [draft] a 2020 bill to decriminalize up to 50 g did NOT pass; [draft] 2022 Sa'ar draft regulations to make personal use purely administrative and expunge records; [draft] a February 2024 redefinition of 'dangerous drug' to only cannabis above 0.3% THC (placing low-THC CBD outside the ordinance) — confirm current status. Medical cannabis is one of the world's oldest and largest programs (1990s; Israel Medical Cannabis Agency / Ministry of Health; about 130,000–140,000 patients; a January 2024 reform dropped the 'last resort' requirement). Israel has NO death penalty for drugs. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.

Consequences if caught: This specific substance was not named in the cited Israeli sources (Dangerous Drugs Ordinance (New Version 5732, 1973), incl. Sec 6) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel.

Documentation: Cannabis is DECRIMINALIZED BY POLICY, not legalized: since 1 April 2019 (a temporary order following the July 2018 Knesset approval) adult personal use or possession of a 'small amount' (15 g or less) is handled administratively rather than as a criminal offence; private-home use is no offence at all, while public use draws a three-strikes graduated fine (first about NIS 1,000 / about USD 275, doubled on the second, the third triggers a criminal investigation / licence loss, the fourth prosecution). This is decriminalization by temporary order, NOT legalization — per NIDA and the Anti-Drug Authority cannabis use is 'still forbidden.' Soldiers, prisoners, minors and police are EXCLUDED from the decrim framework and remain criminal.

Sec 6) — do NOT assume it is permitted; verify before travel. The cannabis decriminalization-by-policy framework is cannabis-only and does NOT extend to other drugs, which remain criminal (possession or use up to 3 years; cultivation/trafficking up to 20 years).
If prescribed / medical: If a controlled medicine, carry the prescription and confirm with your embassy (see documentation).
Documentation: Cannabis is DECRIMINALIZED BY POLICY, not legalized: since 1 April 2019 (a temporary order following the July 2018 Knesset approval) adult personal use or possession of a 'small amount' (15 g or less) is handled administratively rather than as a criminal offence; private-home use is no offence at all, while public use draws a three-strikes graduated fine (first about NIS 1,000 / about USD 275, doubled on the second, the third triggers a criminal investigation / licence loss, the fourth prosecution). This is decriminalization by temporary order, NOT legalization — per NIDA and the Anti-Drug Authority cannabis use is 'still forbidden.' Soldiers, prisoners, minors and police are EXCLUDED from the decrim framework and remain criminal. The framework is cannabis-only and does NOT extend to other drugs: cocaine, heroin and MDMA remain criminal (possession or use up to 3 years). Cultivation (Sec 6) carries up to 20 years and trafficking/import/export up to 20 years (25 years supplying a minor), with 8-year asset seizure. IN-FLUX (flagged, not enacted): [draft] a 2020 bill to decriminalize up to 50 g did NOT pass; [draft] 2022 Sa'ar draft regulations to make personal use purely administrative and expunge records; [draft] a February 2024 redefinition of 'dangerous drug' to only cannabis above 0.3% THC (placing low-THC CBD outside the ordinance) — confirm current status. Medical cannabis is one of the world's oldest and largest programs (1990s; Israel Medical Cannabis Agency / Ministry of Health; about 130,000–140,000 patients; a January 2024 reform dropped the 'last resort' requirement). Israel has NO death penalty for drugs. Carry any controlled medicine with its prescription and confirm requirements with your embassy before travel.
