amp;ldquo;The most important thing is that we stabilize phenotypes so that we can depend on what weamp;rsquo;re getting from one season to the next,amp;rdquo; said Abarbanelamp;rsquo;s Mimi Peleg, who does strain testing for three of the farms. amp;ldquo;The way to get there is to start sharing genetics, to have this national grow where we have a nursery for everybody, and start making better and more healthy clones that weamp;rsquo;re giving away to the growers.amp;rdquo; However, she added, amp;ldquo;this sharing attitude is not popular here.amp;rdquo; Doctors and other cannabis experts who spoke to the Jewish Journal agreed that one of the keys to writing cannabis into modern medical history, and to completing the clinical trials needed to more fully legitimize its use, will be to create standard strains or oils that can be replicated and expected to have consistent results, patient-to-patient. Peleg said she hopes ego wars among growers wonamp;rsquo;t block Israelamp;rsquo;s road to a more compassionate system. amp;ldquo;We have the opportunity to really do something better than anywhere else in the world, she said. amp;ldquo;And I hope we take advantage of it.amp;rdquo; - Jewish Journal
