Discover the potential benefits of medical cannabis, how it works and how it's prescribed in Australia.

Since first becoming legal in 2016, more than 390,000 prescriptions have been filled for medical cannabis in Australia.

More than 50% of all medical cannabis prescriptions have been made for patients in the Gold Coast and other areas of Queensland.

Only a small portion of medical cannabis prescriptions have come from Tasmania, but as with the rest of Australia that number is growing.

When your doctor prescribes medical cannabis to you, it will most likely come in two forms: flower and oil.

CBD oil products typically have few side effects, are easy to use and don’t produce the psychoactive effects associated with THC.
