Can You Buy CBD oil from chemists?
Medicinal CBD oil is available in Australia since its legalisation in 2016, but can you buy it from chemists, pharmacists or does it come from cannabis clinics?
CBD oil is legal and available from chemists, pharmacies, and cannabis clinics. After receiving a prescription for CBD oil from your doctor, you can buy the oil from your local or online chemist. Chemists sell CBD isolate, Full-Spectrum and Broad-Spectrum CBD oil.
Can I Buy CBD Oil From The Chemist?
The most common question about medicinal cannabis that pharmacists receive is “can I buy CBD oil over the counter?”
Even though we can celebrate Australia’s legalisation of medicinal cannabis since 2016, CBD oil has yet to become an over the counter drug.
Chemists have just started accessing medicinal CBD oil products in the form of:
- full-spectrum CBD oil (CBD and THC)
- broad-spectrum CBD oil (cannabis oil without THC)
- CBD isolate oil (pure CBD)
In order to buy the CBD oil at your chemist, you require a prescription.
CBD oil ranges from $150 to 400. The price depends on the strength, potency, and brand of CBD oil.
Chemists now have CBD oil from Australia, Canada, and the USA.
The price of CBD oil and other medicinal cannabis products may drop in the near future once they are supported by Australia’s PBS system.
The PBS system will greatly reduce the cost of CBD oil patients pay. Currently, you will pay an estimated $200 per month, and in the future, it may be reduced to $50-100.
