Medicinal cannabis is a therapy that has gathered much attention in the recent years. Although it has been around for thousands of years, the lack of robust research and its use as a recreational drug, has hampered its move to become a credible, legitimate treatment option.

At Nourish, we are often asked about medicinal cannabis, its use as a medical treatment and its availability in Australia. As it is a new area of medicine, there are lots of questions around the topic from both health professionals and people of the public.

So, we thought who would be better to chat with than our very own Dunsborough based GP, Dr Matty Moore.

Topics covered include:

What led Dr Moore into this area of prescribing?
Dr Moore’s experience working with patients on medicinal cannabis therapy
2 case studies with life changing outcomes
Challenges he has faced moving into the area of medicinal cannabis prescribing
Common misconceptions around medicinal CBD
The dangers of people buying it on the black market
Cost & health insurance cover
