What is medicinal cannabis?
Medicinal cannabis products use the cannabis plant to treat physical and psychological conditions. These products contain THC or CBD.
THC has a psychoactive effect and may produce a 'high' when used. CBD does not have a psychoactive effect.
Medicinal cannabis is available in many forms including pills, oils, sprays, and the traditional flower that can be vaporised and inhaled.
What is it used for?
In Australia, the TGA has approved use of medicinal cannabis for a number of conditions including (but not limited to):
- Chronic Pain
- Depression
- Anxiety
- ADHD
- PTSD
- Migraines
- Insomnia
- Fibromyalgia
- Chemotherapy Side Effects
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome
What does it cost?
The initial consult is $79. If you are eligible for treatment your doctor will recommend Medicinal cannabis products that suit your needs. You can purchase these products through our online portal.
We charge the recommended retail price on all medicinal cannabis products.
Treatment options
Over-the-counter acne creams often aren't effective. We provide access to more powerful prescription-only solutions.
Daily oral medication from $10 per month
Prescription acne cream from $20 per month
Follow up consultations
To continue receiving treatment you'll need to have follow up consultations. These are $59 each.
Your doctor will determine the frequency of the follow ups, but they'll usually depend on how often you need new prescriptions.
All consults are via an online form that your doctor then reviews. Follow up questions can be asked via our built in messaging app.
Why choose Candor?
Trying to treat acne prone skin can be frustrating. There are a lot of products that make big promises and don't deliver.
At Candor we only recommend acne treatments with real clinical evidence behind them, tailored to your specific skin type.
Dr Lisa Beckett, Founder
Am I eligible?
To prescribe you Medicinal cannabis a doctor needs to submit an application to the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) . The main criteria is as follows:
- You have a health condition that has lasted more than 3 months.
- You've tried unsuccessfully to treat this condition via other means.
While these factors indicate you may be eligible they don't guarantee approval. For example, if you take medications that interact negatively with cannabis it may be deemed unsuitable for you.
Candor provides a free screening before your initial consultation that will help determine your eligibility.
