Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked asked President Reuven Rivlin to pardon a former IDF soldier jailed for growing his own marijuana in order to treat his PTSD. "There is no better day than today, toward the end of Memorial Day as we enter Independence Day, to convey a message of encouragement, rehabilitation and strengthening to those who fought in Israel’s wars and for years suffered from PTSD and became involved in criminal activity," said Shaked.
