This is a very small fraction of all the medical support, as this only touches on the international support.

Cannabis in its whole plant form is legal in Canada, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain; and Mexico is currently considering medical marijuana as well. In the U.S., cannabis was was a part of the American pharmacopoeia until 1942.

Israel also has some type of medical marijuana program going on too, though there are few details.
