Can Cannabis Solve Australia’s Chronic Pain Crisis?

As Australians get older, their likelihood to suffer from chronic pain issues increases. Can medical cannabis provide a safer solution than opioids?

Rosemarie is a 57-year-old Tasmanian pensioner who suffers from fibromyalgia, Crohn’s disease and three different types of arthritis. With shin splints keeping her up at night and pain that stopped her from getting out of bed most mornings, Rosemarie’s life as a mother and a grandmother was put on hold.

Allergic reactions prevent Rosemarie from using morphine and traditional opioid medications, and so she thought she would have to live out the rest of her life in agony, until she found CA Clinics.

“I don’t know where I would be if I didn’t find CA Clinics and get prescribed cannabis oil. I could not live without it.”

CA Clinics help to manage patients’ journey to being prescribed medical cannabis, through their team of medical cannabis professionals, academics, and researchers dedicated to providing Australians with services that may include CBD oils and THC treatments for chronic conditions.
