CBD: Legal in Australia, but legally hard to get
Can you legally buy CBD in Australia? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is yes - but is pretty much inaccessible.
Despite the legalisation of cannabis for medical use in 2016, CBD’s legality still remains a debate in Australia. CBD is legal in Australia and available only via prescription. But residents are unable to obtain and use it because of the strict criteria underpinning its access. CBD products are limited to only a small number of patients suffering from very specific medical conditions.
Red tape and bureaucracy has made it challenging for Australians to obtain a CBD prescription, and there are fewer doctors eligible to write a prescription. Since its rescheduling in 2016, CBD has been prescribed to just over 500 patients.
