What is Medicinal Cannabis 

Medicinal cannabis refers to cannabis-derived products that may be prescribed by appropriately authorised healthcare practitioners within Australia's regulated healthcare system.

Medicinal cannabis products contain naturally occurring compounds known as cannabinoids. Two of the most commonly discussed cannabinoids are cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). These compounds interact with biological systems that continue to be studied through ongoing scientific and healthcare research.

Within Australia, medicinal cannabis products are available only through regulated healthcare pathways and remain subject to practitioner assessment and applicable regulatory requirements.
