Medical cannabis products Australia
The Australian medical cannabis market now hosts over 150 legal medical cannabis products through the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) access pathways. There are also various products that doctors prescribe via compounding pharmacies. Because medical cannabis is so new in Australia and the advertising of medical cannabis is not allowed, it’s very difficult for both patients and doctors to know what’s available.
In this article, we’ll not only give you some of the medical cannabis product basics, we’ll also give you a list of products available to patients via the TGA cannabis access pathways. The lists below may not have all of the products available in Australia, but we’ll do our best to keep this list as up to date as possible.
It’s important to note that this article is not intended for advertising purposes. This article and the list of products below are for medical cannabis patients to learn more about the types of products available, find a list of products that they can talk to their doctor about, or direct their doctors when their doctors are new to medical cannabis. Medical cannabis doesn’t work for everyone, has contraindications and can cause side effects. Only you and your doctor can decide if medical cannabis is right for you.
In this article, we’ll cover the following topics:
- What types of medical cannabis products are there?
- What mix of cannabinoids (ie THC vs CBD) are available?
- Which medical cannabis product is best for me?
- Intro to a list of medical cannabis products (read before going through the list)
What types of medical cannabis products are there?
When most people think of cannabis they think of smoking the flower or bud of the plant. When it comes to legal medical cannabis, doctors may prescribe a flower product for vaporisation. However, the most common form of medical cannabis product is an oil. And, flower and oils are not the only types of medical cannabis products available in Australia. Here are the different types that doctors can prescribe (in alphabetical order):
- Capsules
- Chewables
- Cream
- Crystals
- Flower (including granulated flower)
- Lozenges
- Oil
- Spray
One of the most important things to know about the different types of products is that they have different onset, effect and impairment windows.
For example, while oils may take longer to affect, called ‘onset of action’, the impact of taking cannabis, called ‘duration of action’ in oil form lasts longer. Besides the fact that smoking and vaping are not great for your lungs, doctors typically start patients on an oil because the effects last longer and can provide relief from symptoms over a more extended period than vaping.
What mix of cannabinoids (ie THC vs CBD) are available?
The simple answer to this question is pretty much everything. When people talk about medical cannabis, they usually bring up CBD oil. The term CBD oil is a bit confusing because it sounds like an oil that’s only CBD. However, there are multiple types of CBD oil. And, these types are defined by the cannabinoid content in the actual oil.
Legal medical cannabis products include:
- Full spectrum
- Broad spectrum
- Isolates
This means that you can be prescribed products that contain:
- CBD only
- CBD & THC
- THC only
- A mixed ratio of the cannabinoids CBD & THC
- All of the cannabinoids and terpenes that were in the original plant. (CBC, CBG and CBN are some of the other popular cannabinoids)
Unfortunately, it can be difficult to find out the terpene content of many of these products. Your doctor would need to query this with the product suppliers.
To learn about the different types of CBD oil you can read our types of CBD oil article.
Which medical cannabis product is best for me?
We often get asked questions like, “What is the best medical cannabis products for anxiety?” or ,”What is the best cannabis product for pain?”
We know that CBD and THC have specific medicinal properties, and some of the properties overlap. We also know that for certain conditions, like epilepsy, CBD can be very beneficial. However, most of the time, the effects of cannabis are often unique to an individual.
Because cannabis works differently for everyone, there rarely is a ‘best’ type of product for an individual or a condition. You and your doctor will work out which product type is best for you over a period of time.
A List Of Legal Medical Cannabis Products In Australia
Before you start reading through the individual lists, there are a few things to note:
- Prices change regularly and we don’t want to give you the wrong information so we have left them out.
- Many of these products will look similar. A doctor will need to reach out to these companies to ask for their detailed product specs or Certificates of Analysis (CoAs) to get more detail.
- For some products, where we have the information, you can search the table for minor cannabinoids like CBC, CBN or CBG.
- We recommend you read the table key below each product to see what special characteristics the table holds for certain products (ie. Certified Organic or non irradiated flower)
- If you’re looking for product reviews, you’ll want to visit CannaReviews (see note below before visiting)
- Once you’ve reviewed the products, if you’re looking for a local doctor or nurse practitioner, you can use this tool to find local cannabis doctors in Australia.
IMPORTANT NOTE: honahlee does not own, operate or have a relationship with cannareviews. We’ve received various complaints about incorrect pricing of cannareviews listed products. Any complaints or feedback should be sent directly to cannareviews at [email protected] And, while you may find reviews on some products, cannabis doesn’t work for everyone and the same product may work differently for each person, or not at all.
Below you’ll find four lists:
- Australian cultivated and manufactured products
- Medical cannabis oil products
- Medical cannabis flower products
- “Other” medical cannabis products
Legal Australian cultivated and manufactured products
While a short list, this is the real list of Australian cannabis products. It’s great to know some locally cultivated and manufactured products exist. You’ll also note that in this group of products, there are some Certified Organic medications and some non-irradiated flower. Please make sure to review the description below the table for more information.

Legal medical cannabis oil products
Oils are the most abundant product type in Australia. While many of the oils are similar, the most significant difference in these products will be whether products are manufactured in Australia, and their terpene and cannabinoid range.

Legal medical cannabis flower products
Vapable flower products are increasingly being prescribed. Most medical cannabis companies don’t specify the strain. To find out, a doctor would need to ask for the CoA or request the information from the supplier. While we’ve listed indica vs sativa to the best of our knowledge, it’s terpene and cannabinoid content that will determine how uplifting or sedating a cannabis product is.

“Other” medical cannabis products
The other category covers the rest of the products available on the market. These products include capsules, chewables, crystals, lozenges, sprays and wafers. These products are great for those who have unique needs (ie. get stomach aches from oils, are allergic to carriers and many other needs). However, these products are not only for unique needs and are prescribed regularly.
