Cannabis distillate is a highly refined cannabis extract that has been processed to concentrate specific cannabinoids, such as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or cannabidiol (CBD), while removing many other plant compounds. The result is a purified cannabinoid extract that may contain very high concentrations of the target cannabinoid. In Australia, regulated medicinal cannabis products that contain purified […]
Cannabis is used in different ways depending on the legal framework and intended purpose. The two main categories are medical cannabis and recreational cannabis.

Cannabis oil is a broad term used to describe oils that contain cannabinoids extracted from the Cannabis sativa plant. The two most widely studied cannabinoids are cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), each with distinct pharmacological properties and therapeutic research. In Australia medicinal cannabis oils are regulated therapeutic products that may be prescribed by appropriately authorised […]
Medicinal CBD oil is a therapeutic product containing cannabidiol (CBD), one of the primary cannabinoids found in the Cannabis sativa plant. Unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD is generally considered non-intoxicating, meaning it does not typically produce the “high” associated with cannabis. In Australia medicinal CBD oil is regulated within the healthcare system and may be prescribed […]
Cannabis tablets are oral medicinal cannabis products that contain one or more cannabinoids, most commonly tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), or a combination of both. Unlike inhaled cannabis products, tablets are swallowed and absorbed through the digestive system, providing a measured dose in a pharmaceutical dosage form. In Australia medicinal cannabis products are regulated within the […]
Australia has developed a nationally regulated framework for the prescribing of medicinal cannabis. The framework is designed to balance patient safety, product quality, and access to evidence-based healthcare while ensuring healthcare professionals prescribe cannabinoid medicines in accordance with Australian law. Unlike many conventional medicines, most medicinal cannabis products available in Australia are unapproved therapeutic goods. […]
Medicinal cannabis has become an increasingly important area of healthcare in Australia as scientific research continues to explore its potential therapeutic applications. Many Australians ask whether medical marijuana is covered by Medicare and whether prescription medicinal cannabis products are subsidised by the government. The short answer is that Medicare generally does not pay for most […]
Cannabis derived medicines have become an important area of healthcare research over the past decade. Two of the most well-known cannabinoids found in the Cannabis sativa plant are cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Although both cannabinoids come from the same plant and interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), they produce very different effects. CBD […]
