    Drug Free Australia confirms that there is absolutely no necessity in Australia for smoked marijuana in terms of medical use. Marinol, a pill which contains the active constituent of marijuana, THC, is legally available to Australians on prescription as approved by the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), negating any need for the use of smoked marijuana in alleviating the few medical conditions for which cannabinoids are useful. Most importantly, no medicine in Australia is smoked, given the well-known harms of smoking as a delivery system. Marinol can be imported on prescription or order of a medical practitioner authorised or approved by the Secretary of the Commonwealth Department of Health under section 19 of the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 for treatment or experimental purposes. As such, Marinol can be prescribed under Special Access, the same category under which Naltrexone has facilitated the recovery of thousands of heroin users in Australia. Some clinical studies indicate better outcomes for patients from these pharmaceutical products than with smoked marijuana.

    Sativex, the TGA-registered pharmaceutical-quality whole-leaf cannabis extract used in the form of an oral spray is currently available on prescription for MS sufferers in Australia. For those believing that components of cannabis other than THC are responsible for relief of a particular condition, Sativex offers a pharmaceutical quality treatment of known strength and purity, as with all other pharmaceutical medicines in Australia.
