H EADLINES
ISRAELBRIEFS Israeli Justice Minister Drafts Cannabis
Decriminalization Plan
Israeli Justice Minister Gideon Sa’ar submitted for
public comment on Feb. 9 a decriminalization of
cannabis plan that would recategorize cannabis-re-
lated off enses from criminal to civil off enses, Th e
Jerusalem Post reported.

Th e change would mean that criminal records
wouldn’t be aff ected by cannabis charges.

Marijuana use is only partially decriminalized in
Israel, with the fi rst two incidents resulting in fi nes
and indictments only fi led upon a fourth off ense.

Saar’s bill would reduce the escalation of penalties by
making cannabis off enses only punishable by a fi ne
each time of about $311.

Th e draft also protects cannabis users from criminal
prosecution (other than in exceptional cases), removes
the distinction between fi rst and subsequent off enses
and allows people with criminal records to be subject
to the same decriminalization laws.

Th e law proposes, in part, to classify ads that
don’t meet the requirements of the law as social
injustice and a crime. Advertisers not meeting the
requirement who release photoshopped commercials
without disclosing the manipulation will face fi nes
starting at about $3,100.

Fine proceeds will go toward eating disorder
prevention and treatment. Violators will be named,
and legal case details would be published on a govern-
mental website.

“Eating disorders have been an issue that doesn’t
aff ect just the minorities for a long time now,” said
MK Limor Magen, who submitted the proposal.

“We can continue to close our eyes to the changes
in society and culture or we can act. I have chosen
to act.”

Joint Israeli-NASA Project to Help Astronauts
Grow Chickpeas in Space
One of the founders of Israeli nonprofi t SpaceIL is
teaming up with NASA to try to grow chickpeas in
space, JTA reported.

On Feb. 19, Yonatan Winetraub and a team of
scientists and engineers from Israel and Stanford
University will send a sealed miniature greenhouse
on a NASA cargo shuttle bound for the International
Space Station.

Inside the box will be 28 chickpea seeds from
Israel that Winetraub and his team will attempt to
germinate and grow remotely, via soft ware, in an
environment free of gravity and natural light. Th e
plants will grow for a month, then be refrigerated
until they are brought down to Earth in June. ●
