TEL AVIV (JTA) \u2013 To build a Jewish state in the Middle East, Israelis had to be innovators.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of what they\u2019ve come up with has been used mostly by their fellow citizens \u2014 think Hebrew slang, Bamba snacks and the Iron Dome missile defense system \u2014 at least so far.<\/span><\/p>\n

But many other Israeli creations have changed the world: drip irrigation, the USB flash drive and actress Natalie Portman, among them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ahead of Yom Haatzmaut \u2014 Israel\u2019s Independence Day, to be celebrated on May 2 \u2014 here are some incredible things Israel gave the world this year, its 69th year of independence.<\/span><\/p>\n

A weed inhaler<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Puff, puff, pass the inhaler.<\/span><\/p>\n

In November, the Israeli pharmaceutical giant Teva announced it would begin marketing a medical cannabis inhaler in Israel that delivers precise doses of the drug. Rambam Hospital in Haifa had already been using the device for more than a year, making it the first medical center in the world to prescribe cannabis as a standard medical treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perry Davidson, the founder and CEO of Syqe Medical, which developed the inhaler, said his company plans eventually to offer it around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIsrael is clearly just the start,\u201d he told Bloomberg. \u201cWe expect to be approved for use in other countries in due course. The U.S., as the biggest medical cannabis market, is an obvious target.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The inhaler is far from Israel\u2019s first marijuana-related innovation. In 1964, Raphael Mechoulan, a chemist at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, discovered tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the main psychoactive constituent of cannabis. He went on to identify the endocannabinoid system upon which cannabinoids act on the body.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last summer, the government approved a plan by Health Minister Yaakov Litzman to relax some requirements for obtaining medical cannabis. And in March, it decriminalized recreational marijuana use.<\/span><\/p>\n
