Cannabinoid medicine interacts with receptors of the endocannabinoid system which affects functions such as memory, appetite, mood, pain, sleep, stress and inflammation. There are over 140 cannabinoids in the cannabis plant which, alongside terpenes, help give it its therapeutic effect.

In Australia, any registered medical doctor can prescribe cannabinoid medicine, although some doctors prefer to refer their patients to a healthcare professional with experience prescribing. Talk to your GP or connect with an authorised prescriber to find out if you are eligible and to explore whether cannabinoid medicine is right for you.
