Medicinal cannabis is a prescription-only therapy regulated under the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989. It is not suitable for everyone. It may cause side effects including drowsiness, dizziness, impaired cognition, and changes in mood. It can interact with other medications. Outcomes vary between patients and are not guaranteed.

Many medicinal cannabis products contain THC, which is detectable in roadside drug tests in Australia regardless of impairment. Driving while using THC-containing products may result in criminal penalties. Discuss driving implications with your doctor.

Do not use medicinal cannabis if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Use with caution if you have a personal or family history of psychosis, schizophrenia, severe cardiovascular disease, or substance use disorder.

Always seek the advice of a qualified healthcare professional with any questions about your condition or treatment. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read here.
