When medical cannabis was legalised in 2016 Australians were initially slow to embrace it, preferring illicitly sourced cannabis. In the last three years that has all changed, with enormous growth in numbers who are getting their cannabis prescribed. Since 2016 the biennial Cannabis As Medicine surveys have measured the experiences of Australian Medical Cannabis Users. We will discuss the ramifications of the growth in medical cannabis prescriptions, both positive and negative.
