Currently there is limited evidence about the effectiveness of medicinal cannabis for use in different medical conditions. There is also little known about the most suitable doses of individual cannabis products. There are two medicinal cannabis medicines included in the ARTG for use in Australia for specific clinical conditions: nabiximols (Sativex) and cannabidiol (Epidyolex). Other medicinal cannabis products available in Australia are ‘unapproved’ and may be accessed with a prescription from a healthcare practitioner.
