flag Australia probes widespread medicinal cannabis prescriptions over safety and profit concerns.

flag Australian regulators are investigating high-volume prescribing of medicinal cannabis, with concerns over profit motives and patient safety. flag The Therapeutic Goods Administration lacks patient-level data due to fragmented prescribing pathways, relying instead on sales figures. flag AHPRA flagged doctors like Justin Welsh, suspended after issuing over 14,000 scripts worth nearly $9.8 million, though he claims his work reduced harm by keeping patients from unsafe black-market cannabis. flag Sales plateaued in 2025, with edibles nearly doubling in popularity, while two-thirds of supply is imported, hurting domestic producers. flag Inconsistent state regulations, unclear dosing standards, and lack of national oversight remain key challenges.
