Medicinal Cannabis Australia

Medicinal cannabis in Australia is suitable for treating a range of medical conditions, according to the Therapeutic Goods Administration. Cannabinoids (CBDs) found in the hemp plant are highly effective in plant based medicines made in Australia, for Australians.

Medicinal cannabis prescribed in Australia should first be distinguished from recreational cannabis. Medical cannabis made with CBD doesn’t give the ‘high’ associated with delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Medical CBD cannabis can be prescribed by your treating doctor or allied health professional if you:

Have a medical condition diagnosed by a doctor

Are not responding to other medicines, or are experiencing side effects.

Your medical cannabis prescription can be filled by a local pharmacist.
