Medicinal Cannabis in Australia: What Patients Need to Know

Medicinal cannabis has become increasingly available in Australia under the Authorised Prescriber and SAS pathways.

Rather than focusing on products, this article will discuss the broader clinical landscape: how cannabinoid science intersects with pain, sleep, mood regulation, and inflammation; what patients should consider when exploring treatment; and how an integrative approach supports safety, monitoring, and informed decision-making.

This piece will not promote or advertise any specific product, instead, it will provide context, education, and a balanced clinical perspective.
