Is cannabis legal in Australia?
Australia allows medical access via pharmacy through the Special Access Scheme, an Authorized Prescriber, or a registered product. You need a prescription from a registered doctor, and sometimes special regulatory approval. A foreign prescription is usually not enough without a local route. Note: the Australian Capital Territory's limited possession and home growing is not legal recreational sale.
How to buy: Get a prescription from a registered Australian doctor (via SAS, an Authorized Prescriber, or a registered product) and fill it at a pharmacy; a foreign prescription alone is usually insufficient.
THC: Depends on product and prescription; no single national cap for flower.
