Arabs are a large minority group in the Israeli society. With the increasing use of medical cannabis throughout Israel due to changing governmental policies, the interactions of the Arab society with medical cannabis becomes of scientific and medical relevance. Recreational cannabis use is considered haram (forbidden) in Islam. However, most religious scholars agree that medical cannabis usage might be justified as zarurat (emergency and life-saving, therefore allowed) use. Obstacles to medical cannabis use within the Arabic population may relate to language barrier and/or cultural barriers. There are few Arabic-speaking web-based medical-cannabis support groups, and little official information about it is available in the Arabic language. In order for the full benefits of medical cannabis to reach the entire Israeli population, a government-sponsored web-based educational program is necessary in Hebrew and Arabic, both of which are among the nation's official languages, thereby contributing to the equalization of health resource accessibility.
阿拉伯人是以色列社会中的一个大型少数群体。由于政府政策的变化，医用大麻在以色列的使用日益增加，阿拉伯社会与医用大麻的相互作用具有科学和医学上的相关性。在伊斯兰教中，使用娱乐性大麻被认为是哈拉姆（被禁止的）。然而，大多数宗教学者一致认为，医用大麻的使用可能作为扎鲁拉特（紧急和救命，因此被允许）用途是合理的。阿拉伯人群体中使用医用大麻的障碍可能与语言障碍和/或文化障碍有关。几乎没有讲阿拉伯语的基于网络的医用大麻支持团体，并且几乎没有阿拉伯语的官方信息。为了让医用大麻的全部益处惠及全体以色列民众，有必要以希伯来语和阿拉伯语开展一项由政府资助的基于网络的教育项目，这两种语言都是该国的官方语言，从而有助于实现医疗资源获取的均等化。
