The rules

Key rules in Australia

Plain-language summary. The regulator is SA Health — medicinal cannabis patient access.

Possession (no prescription)
Illegal in all states and the Northern Territory; penalties and diversion schemes vary by state. The ACT allows adults limited personal possession (see below).
Prescribed cannabis
Legal when prescribed by a doctor through the TGA Special Access Scheme or Authorised Prescriber pathway and dispensed by a pharmacy. Only Epidyolex and Sativex are registered medicines.
ACT personal use
Since January 31, 2020 adults 18+ in the ACT may possess up to 50 g dried (150 g fresh) and grow 2 plants per person, 4 per household. Sale, supply and public use remain offenses; Commonwealth law is unchanged.
Home grow
Illegal everywhere except the limited ACT allowance; a prescription does not permit cultivation. Commercial cultivation requires Office of Drug Control licences.
Public use
Illegal. Even in the ACT, using cannabis in public or near anyone under 18 is an offense.
Driving
Roadside tests detect THC regardless of prescription. Tasmania has a medical defence since 2017; Victoria's magistrates have had licence-loss discretion for some patients since March 2025; NSW passed a registration-based reform on September 17, 2026, not yet in force.
Advertising
Advertising prescription medicines, including medicinal cannabis, to the public is prohibited under the Therapeutic Goods Act; the TGA issues fines and brings court cases.
CBD products
Low-dose CBD (up to 150 mg a day, adults) was down-scheduled to pharmacist-only in 2021, but no product had been approved for that route by 2026; other CBD requires a prescription.
Age
No statutory minimum for prescriptions, but Medical Board guidance (July 2025) says doctors should avoid prescribing to patients under 18; most clinics accept adults only. ACT personal-use rules apply to 18+.

Summary, not legal advice — rules change; check local law. Last reviewed Sep 2026.

How it works

How cannabis is sold in Adelaide

Listed clinic: IvyMed, Shop 15 Northpark Shopping Centre, 262 Main North Road, Prospect
Format: Face-to-face consults inside partner pharmacies in four suburbs
Patient driving defence: None found in 2026 reporting; check SA Health

What does the in-pharmacy format mean?

The other Australian cities on this site are dominated by telehealth. IvyMed's profile describes appointments held in person inside partner pharmacies, which suits people who want to talk to a doctor and a pharmacist in one visit. Read the pathway before booking: a prescription still needs a TGA approval behind it, as the Australian access guide explains.

What did SA decide on driving?

ABC reported in February 2023 that new South Australian drug-driving rules would strip a licence after a positive roadside test, and that the Greens and a former magistrate wanted medicinal users excluded. The 2026 coverage I found concerns New South Wales and Victoria, where reforms exist, and none shows the change arriving in South Australia. Assume the stricter reading until SA Health or the state police say otherwise. Rules for the state: South Australia.
