<p>For some, it may come as a surprise that Israel stands among the global leaders in medicinal cannabis research. Discoveries made in the footsteps of Raphael Mechoulam (the internationally acclaimed researcher who first isolated THC) have brought new meaning to medical cannabis as strains are engineered to contain optimal levels of <a href="http://www.leafly.com/knowledge-center/cannabis-101/cannabinoids-101-what-makes-cannabis-medicine">cannabinoids</a>.</p>
<p>Here are just a few strains from the Israeli cannabis supplier Tikun Olam that we recently added to the <a href="http://www.leafly.com/explore">Leafly Explorer</a>. Most of them are low- to moderate-THC and high-CBD, meaning they offer imperceptible psychoactive effects but strong medical relief from pain symptoms. One strain, however, is a balanced blend of low-to-moderate THC and CBD. Enjoy!</p>

5 Great Pain Relief, High-CBD Cannabis Strains From Israel

Since I have GAD I decided to give this strain a try. My Licensed Producer is MedReleaf. When I first opened the container a sweet, pungent smell hit my nose. My batch had 15% CBD and .89 % THC. It has a beautiful aroma and when vaporized it actually tastes a bit like sweet tarts. :) This strain effectively relieved my chronic pain from scoliosis and also calmed my anxious mind. There is no psychoactive effect from this strain, just an overall good feeling. You could have a puff of this and go about your work. No one would even know you were medicated! 

In the evening if I'm relaxing I tend to mix this and a high THC Indica. It's a very therapeutic high that creates a unique sensation. 

Definitely worth trying! 

It takes away the tremors. Make you feel like you got some hydraulics system in your body, that Avidekel is it's fuel.

I love this strain from Israel! I acquired Avi-Dekel from Medreleaf. This strain is good for improving your mood, muscle relaxation, and easing stress. It has a mild euphoric, clear headed and focused effect that is also good for taking the edge off of pain.  Mild buzz, no strong head high with this strain.

Great for Cramps and headaches but made me pretty anxious. 

Like sinking in to a hot tub. Tried this for the first time today and I'll never go back. Took away all my anxiety, pain, and neurotic tendencies. Not sleepy at all but so relaxed which is nice because I could see myself functioning on this while at work. Try it you won't regret it. 

Charlotte's Web slowed me down too much, this strain raises my heart rate, after deep breathes I'm happy and pain free, and super energetic and focused without anxiety.

I have severe chronic pain. Inflammation in my spine primarily, and after two days of trying this strain for the first time, there was a noticeable decrease in inflammation. As a result I am already off my daily Tylenol. I can't take anything else but that, not even NSAIDs. So finally having an alternative that's not taxing my liver is quite welcome.
