Medicinal cannabis approvals hit new highs in the first half of 2025, with doctors continuing to turn to the plant for anxiety, sleep and depression – as flower-based products overtook oil to become the most prescribed dosage form.
More than 113,000 SAS-B applications were approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) between January and June, a 27% increase on the same period last year. At the current rate, 2025 is set to eclipse 200,000 approvals by year’s end, easily beating last year’s record of 177,762.
