Over-the-counter CBD products include low-dose oral, oral mucosal, and sublingual formulations. Vaping and topical products will only be available through a prescription. However there are currently no TGA approved products for sale as it does not meet the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) Schedule 3 criteria. A number of pharmacists The Observer spoke to in Gladstone, Tannum Sands and Boyne Island said without TGA approval, the drug would not be available for purchase over-the-counter at chemists. The decision to allow the drug to be available over-the-counter was made following an earlier TGA safety review of low dose CBD which indicated that the known effects of CBD at low doses were not serious.
