Talk to the doctor about whether medical cannabis may be suitable as an adjunct therapy (that is another treatment used alongside primary treatment) for your conditions or symptoms.
If your doctor believes that it would be effective, they can contact the Commonwealth Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) for approval to allow supply of the product. An application to prescribe cannabis incurs a fee, which is non-refundable.
Your doctor will also need to arrange for a pharmacy to dispense the medication to you. Currently we use the Amcal at Smith Collective , 2 Nexus way southport 55263656
Cost of medical cannabis
Medical cannabis is not on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) so patients need to pay the costs of purchasing the product.
A rough estimate of cost is $80 per month for CBD oil. A bottle is $99 and lasts for 50 days at 0.6ml per day.
There is currently no government subsidy for the cost of medicinal cannabis. Some private health funds give a partial rebate on the prescription cost.
Travelling with medicinal cannabis
Each state or territory legislation is slightly different, and each has their own requirements. If you are travelling to Queensland from another State or Territory, your medicinal cannabis must have been prescribed by a doctor who holds the relevant Commonwealth approval.
Conditions that may benefit
The Queensland laws do not limit what symptoms or conditions may be applied for by your doctor. However, the doctor will need to supply sufficient scientific evidence that supports the use of medicinal cannabis for the particular symptom or condition.
