What is medicinal cannabis?

Medicinal cannabis comes from the hemp plant and is cultivated in Australia for a wide range of medical conditions. The TGA classifies medicinal cannabis into five different categories based on the amount of cannabinoid (CBD) within the entire product. The type of medicinal cannabis prescribed is determined based on each individual patient’s symptoms, medical history, and other factors.

Medicinal cannabis can be prescribed online if you’ve been diagnosed with specific conditions by a doctor and conventional treatments aren't effective or cause side effects. It can be obtained through a prescription and filled at a local pharmacy or by an online pharmacy and delivered to your home.

What are the benefits of medicinal cannabis?

Medicinal cannabis has shown promise in various clinical settings. It can aid in reducing anxiety symptoms, offering a potential alternative for those grappling with mental health challenges. In can also be helpful for pain management and has proven effective for conditions such as cancer-related pain and arthritis. Additionally, many users have reported improved sleep patterns, attributing it to the calming effects of CBD, making it a sought-after remedy for insomnia.

When addressing neurological conditions like Multiple Sclerosis, some brands have been recognised for their ability to mitigate muscle spasticity. Beyond these, medicinal cannabis has shown potential in addiction management, potentially reducing cravings for substances like tobacco and alcohol. Moreover, in palliative care settings, it serves as a supplementary treatment, adding another layer of comfort for patients.
