level of care to her patients. She now offers medicinal cannabis

prescription.
What is Medicinal Cannabis:
Medicinal cannabis refers to the use of pharmaceutical products (or
medicines) using the cannabis plant or chemicals contained within it to
treat medical conditions.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) requires strict certification of
all medicinal cannabis products produced in and imported into Australia.
The product prescribed by the doctors and dispensed from the pharmacy are formulated securely with quality assurance being regulated.
The main chemicals used are cannabidiol (CBD) and Delta-9-tetrahydrocannbinol (THC). THC is a psychotropic cannabinoid compound known for its analgesic, antiemetic, antispasmodic, and psychotropic effects. CBD is a non-psychotropic compound known for its anti-inflammatory, anticonvulsant, antioxidant, antianxiety, and sedation
effects. Conditions medicinal cannabis & CBD oil may be beneficial for
