Know Your Script

What a medicinal cannabis prescription means for the rest of your life in Australia

You did not stop being a tenant, a parent, a traveller, an employee or a firearms licence holder when you were handed a prescription. This site covers what happens to all of that — the parts nobody hands you a pamphlet about.

Start here See every situation

Read this before you read anything else. 13 of this site's 41 situation pages are published. The rest have been written but not yet checked against the legislation they describe, so they carry a DRAFT stamp, are not indexed, and should not be relied on. We would rather show you an unfinished site than a confident wrong answer about your custody hearing.

What this covers

What this site is not

It is not a clinic, a pharmacy, a comparison site or a way to get a prescription. It does not tell you which product to take, what dose to take, or how to obtain one — those are questions for the person who wrote your script. It has nothing to sell you.

It is a plain-English account of what Australian law does and does not say about the rest of your life, with the sources shown so you can check us.
