Medicinal cannabis is one of the most exciting new treatments in Australia. It’s been shown to assist with over 100 health conditions.

Medicinal cannabis is a natural, whole plant-based alternative with negligible side effects and minimal chance of addiction. It’s easy to go up or down in dose as needed and dosage is simple to control.

The wide variety of treatment types means there’s an option to suit all eligible patients.

Potential Side Effects

Medicinal cannabis has been shown to have very few side effects. Some patients experience no side effects at all. For those who do, effects can vary from patient to patient, depending on dose and treatment type. They may include:
