Delta-9 Medicinal

The affordability of medicinal cannabis remains a significant challenge for many in Australia, with the expense of these products often being a hurdle. Many patients find the cost prohibitive, which is an important factor to consider if you're evaluating medicinal cannabis for your healthcare needs. Be sure to address any financial concerns with your healthcare provider when exploring treatment options.

Navigating the Costs with Delta 9

The intricacies of cost can be attributed to several variables, including:

  • The severity of a patient’s condition, which can influence the quantity of medicinal cannabis needed.
  • Individual responses to cannabis due to the unique nature of each patient’s endocannabinoid system.
  • Concurrent medications that may be taken alongside medicinal cannabis.
  • The specific medicinal cannabis product prescribed, as prices are set by manufacturers and can vary widely.

Price Determinants

Price determinants stem from factors such as:

  • The form of the cannabis product (e.g., oils, flowers, concentrates).
  • The cannabis plant’s quality and strength (measured by CBD/THC content).
  • The production method for the cannabis product.
  • The extent of quality testing required.
  • Regulatory and legal constraints.
  • The number of intermediaries in the supply chain and any additional processing.
  • Mark-up by wholesalers and pharmacies.

Considering these factors, the average daily cost of medical cannabis is typically under $10 (based on H2 2021 data from FreshLeaf Analytics). Currently, the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) offers a single subsidy for specific syndromes such as Lennox-Gastaut and Dravet, applicable to patients two years and older.
