Australia says over-the-counter CBD sales ‘could be considered during 2020’

A review of cannabidiol products being undertaken by Australian health authorities could result in the relaxation of the scheduling status of CBD, potentially making it available over the counter in low doses.

In a public submission to a Senate committee studying Australia’s medical cannabis access scheme, the Department of Health said the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) is currently undertaking a safety review of CBD at lower doses.


The change could open a large new market in a nation with a thriving gray market for CBD but no legal access without a doctor’s prescription.
“Based on the outcome of these studies, it is possible that relaxation of the scheduling status of low-dose CBD – e.g,. to over the counter – could be considered during 2020,” the submission reads.

North Sydney-based data firm FreshLeaf Analytics, which first reported the development, said making low-dose CBD products available over the counter at pharmacies would constitute a watershed moment.
