The new July 1, 2024, laws were introduced to protect consumers by ensuring that only safe and effective vaporisers are available for medical cannabis use.
Benefits of the New Regulations
- Increased safety - All vaporisers must meet Australian medical standards.
- Stronger quality control - Reduces the risk of faulty or dangerous devices.
- Better oversight - Only licensed medical suppliers can sell vaporisers.
- Prevents misuse - Ensures vaporisers are used only for medical treatment.
While these changes may seem restrictive, they ultimately benefit medical cannabis patients by ensuring they receive high-quality, approved vaporisers.
