IMC Supports Israeli Government Action Towards Cannabis Decriminalization

Canada NewsWire

TORONTO and GLIL YAM, Israel, June 10, 2020 /CNW/ - IM Cannabis Corp. (the "Company" or "IMC") (CSE: IMCC), one of the world's pioneering medical cannabis companies with operations in Israel and across Europe, is pleased to express its support for the Israeli government's plans to advance legislation on non-discrimination between medical and recreational cannabis users.

The Israeli government will develop legislation that introduces reforms to increase access to medical cannabis and a framework that includes: cannabis to be permitted for those over the age of 21, excluding those in security-related occupations; prohibiting driving under the influence of cannabis; and limitations on advertising cannabis. Additionally, other public figures in Israel have called for easing of enforcement laws against cannabis use.

"We are indeed strong supporters of government efforts towards increasing access to cannabis for Israeli adults. We applaud the proposed framework and sincerely believe that reforms on cannabis use will serve Israelis very well over the long-term. IMC is very well positioned for reform in the Israeli cannabis market given our team's operating track record over the last ten years and our brand's reputation for quality, consistency and purity," said Oren Shuster Chief Executive Officer of IMC.
