Where to Buy Cannabis in Australia

 

Cannabis has undergone a major glow-up over the past few years, moving from being a past-time of high-school dropouts and Snoop Dogg fans to becoming a legitimate medicine for people with chronic health conditions. This has led to a burgeoning domestic industry and created challenges for governments and regulatory bodies trying to deal with this new reality.

In Australia, medicinal cannabis is regulated and prescribed by doctors to help relieve symptoms of specific medical conditions. Medicinal cannabis is quality-controlled with a labelled level of the active ingredient known as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). The medicine is available in tablet, capsule and liquid form. It is not currently subsidised under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme so the cost can be quite expensive. However, the Victorian government does have a compassionate access scheme that can fund medicinal cannabis products for children with severe intractable epilepsy.

There are now dozens of clinics – both online and in person – across the country as well as nearly 2,000 authorised prescribers who work independently or in conjunction with their regular GP duties to be able to give you a medicinal cannabis prescription straight away. Some are more legit than others, but if you find one who can get you on the list quickly, they may ask for little or no medical history and require just a brief phone call with a nurse to get the ball rolling.

The other option is to buy a cannabis product from an overseas supplier and ship it into the country. This can be risky as it is technically illegal, but there are a number of reputable websites selling CBD oil that is claimed to be able to cure everything from cancer to diabetes. However, many of these products do not actually contain any cannabis but are instead made from synthetic cannabinoids.

Some people also turn to sites like Reddit to seek out a black-market dealer. However, this is fraught with risks including the potential for a bad batch of low-quality or even unsafe product as well as being potentially subject to criminal penalties under Buy cannabis Australia  law.

Lastly, some people are purchasing a medicinal cannabis product from a dispensary. It is a good idea to shop around as prices and availability vary across different locations. The best way to do this is through a reputable website that is licensed to sell the medicine and has a reputation for customer service.

Getting a prescription for medicinal cannabis can be a lengthy process, so it is important to do your research and talk to as many doctors as you can about your condition and the products that are best suited to it. It is also a good idea to write down your symptoms and what has worked for you in the past, as this will help your doctor make an informed decision. Providing your GP with this information can only be beneficial for you and your health in the long run.
