AltMed Ep.05 - Cannabis Driving Laws in Australia
In this week’s podcast, Mitch and Andrew discuss the implications of a recent drug driving legislation, and how exactly this new policy will play out in Victoria.
On the 14th of October 2020, the Victorian parliament passed the legislation to allow medicinal cannabis users to drive with the medication in their system. Victoria is the first state in Australia to implement these changes, and Mitch and Andrew see this as a hopeful sign that a similar legislation could be rolled out across the country in future.
Current roadside drug tests only pick up the presence of cannabis in a driver’s system, without accounting for whether the driver is impaired. These new drug driving laws will take into account a patient’s valid prescription for medicinal cannabis, and will apply a limit on THC levels – much like a blood alcohol concentration limit would.
This new legislation will provide those being treated with medicinal cannabis the added freedoms of travel, while also safeguarding Vi…

AltMed Ep.04 - Steven Ng of CBD Reviews Australia
In this week’s podcast Mitch and Andrew sit down with CBD Reviews Australia founder Steven Ng to chat about how a lack of reliable access to cannabis products and information can harm the consumer.
Steven Ng is a passionate cannabis advocate and a founder of CBD Reviews Australia, an online community where members review cannabis and hemp products. Steven analyses medicinal cannabis products for quality and composition and publishes this data openly and freely.
In Australia, 90% of cannabis products are still being accessed via the black market as opposed to legal avenues. Much of this is due to the country’s conservative regulatory policies, and the lack of publicly available information about these legal, medicinal alternatives.
The barrier of entry placed on legally obtaining medicinal CBD can draw consumers to purchasing from the black market, where there is an assumption that these products are cheaper, of better quality and more easily attainable. However, with a lack of d…

In this week’s podcast Mitch and Andrew sit down with Under Jungle director Joshua Savage to chat about the distinctions of the Australian cannabis marketplace.
Joshua Savage has assisted with the development and operations of various innovative projects in the international cannabis arena, and has currently set base in Australia. With the development of his tech startup Under Jungle, a compliant, wholesale cannabis and hemp marketplace for vendors, Joshua offers up qualified insights into the reality of the emerging Australian CBD industry in this podcast.
When comparing the domestic cannabis marketplace to international counterparts, Australia is subject to a more stringent regulatory barriers in terms of access and manufacturing. In the US, individual states set up policy structures and separate industry sectors for a booming medical cannabis industry, as well as a recreational cannabis industry too.
With a push for higher GMP standards, the barriers of tight policy regulation…

AltMed Ep.02 - How to Access Medicinal Cannabis in Australia
In this week’s AltMed Podcast, Andrew and Mitch chat about the regulatory processes to be aware of when accessing medicinal CBD in Australia.
Australian regulatory bodies take a conservative and cautious approach when issuing medicinal cannabis. As there isn’t a great level of clinical research to warrant the prescription of those products, medicinal cannabis is often only justified as a last resort avenue when conventional treatment has proven to be ineffective.
Additionally, medicinal CBD is an unapproved therapeutic good that is only prescribed at a health professional’s discretion. A doctor will therefore need to weigh in a number of considerations concerning the patient’s condition and health history in order to recommend medicinal CBD. However, since many in the medical field have little or no clinical experience with this alternative treatment, it’s advisable to consult a specialist clinic for a second opinion.
While Andrew and Mitch are not healthcare professionals…

Although Cannabis is most commonly associated with recreational use, cannabinoid products come in multiple forms. Hemp plants have diverse applications, and are commonly used for textiles, building materials, beauty and skin products and ‘superfoods’. At Altmed, we focus on how CBD can be utilised for its medicinal properties.
Cannabis, when used medicinally, comes in multiple forms and has been used as treatment for a vast variety of health issues. THC, the principal psychoactive chemical component of cannabis interacts with biological receptors in the body to bring on a muscle relaxant effect. patients often take the product to reduce nausea, muscle spasticity and pain.
