MEDICINAL CANNABIS: HISTORY & OUTLOOK IN AUSTRALIA Increasing Usage & Growing Industry

For doctors, the Therapeutic Goods Administration's (TGA) special access scheme requires an application form to be filled out for each patient, detailing their medical history and justifying why medicinal cannabis is an appropriate treatment

Cannabis on track to become a $1.2 billion industry over the next 10 years - Prohibition Partners

The Australian market has clearly overcome early obstacles to patient access and is now in a rapid growth phase

The proportion of the market being addressed, however, is still miniscule. With an estimated addressable market of up to 500,000 in Australia and a current market of only 5,000 Active Patients

PATIENT CASESTUDY: ALTHEA IN AUSTRALIA

Real Patients Using Medicinal Cannabis With Real Results

  • A 50-year-old successful senior executive travelling for work slipped on a plane resulting in a significant knee injury. Subsequent treatment included pharmacological interventions such as anticonvulsants, narcotic analgesics, opioid analgesics and benzodiazepines, ketamine infusions and nerve blocks
  • None of these treatments provided the desired relief. She was now irritable, in constant pain, struggling to sleep, suffering from depression, anxiety and had significant weight gain. She could no longer work and her husband resigned from his job to become her full-time carer
  • The patient's GP initiated a treatment of Althea Champlain. At her 3-week review with her GP, she had substantially reduced her pain and insomnia medications. Her pain changed from a self-reported 9 out of 10, to a 4 out of 10
  • She is now hopeful of being able to return to work in some capacity something that just 1 month ago seemed impossible
