Naturally Elevated Pty Ltd

Naturally Elevated Pty Ltd, an Australian company, and an individual were issued infringement notices totalling A$138,600 by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), which announced the action on September 18, 2023. The TGA alleges that the company used websites and social media pages to promote the use or supply of prescription-only medicinal cannabis, and that the advertising referred to the treatment of serious diseases or conditions without the approval such references require. Eight notices totalling A$132,000 went to the company and two totalling A$6,600 to the individual. The TGA noted that medicinal cannabis is prescription-only and cannot be advertised to consumers in Australia, and said that in the 2022–23 financial year it had issued 101 infringement notices, worth about A$1.29 million, for alleged unlawful medicinal cannabis advertising. The release does not say whether the notices were paid.
