A multi-million dollar business has developed in Australia to meet the demand for medicinal cannabis. Australians spent more than A$400 million on it in the first half of 2024 alone.
More Australians than ever are using medicinal cannabis to treat long-term health conditions, such as chronic pain, anxiety and cancer. Some go to their GP and receive a prescription, which they take to a pharmacy. But many bypass their GP. Instead, they buy it online from private medicinal cannabis clinics after a telehealth appointment with the clinic’s doctor.
