In episode #5 Charlie introduces co-host James as the expert for the first (and last) time! They discuss the rapidly changing space of medical cannabis, pathways for obtaining in Australia, the requirements for a doctor to be able to consider you for medical cannabis treatment, how patients can find a doctor who can prescribe medical cannabis, and the costs associated with access in Australia. If you're interested in medical cannabis, this episode is a great practical guide for you.
Co-Host James is the perfect person to break down how to access medical cannabis in Australia after going through the process on his own health journey. Three years ago, James was diagnosed with Lyme's disease, being the cause of chronic pain in his neck for years prior. After trialling all the conventional medication he could and having no long term success, he fell upon CBD oil. After seeing significant changes and going through the rigmarole it took to access, he made it his mission to create an affordable access pathway for everyday Australians far and wide.
