Long-Term Health Benefits of Medicinal Cannabis Confirmed by Australian Study

A new Australian study published in PLOS One has provided compelling evidence that medicinal cannabis delivers sustained improvements in quality of life for patients with chronic health conditions. 

The research, based on real-world patient outcomes, reinforces what many in the medicinal cannabis space have long understood: when used responsibly and legally under medical supervision, cannabis can be an effective long-term treatment option. 

At Biortica Agrimed, this research aligns with our mission to deliver safe, consistent, and fully compliant cannabis products for Australian patients. 

Medicinal Cannabis Study Shows Long-Term Health Improvements 

Researchers tracked over 3,000 Australian patients prescribed medicinal cannabis over a 12-month period. The study captured data using validated patient-reported outcome measures to assess: 

  • Pain levels 
  • Sleep quality 
  • Anxiety and depression 
  • Overall health-related quality of life 

Key findings included: 

  • Marked reduction in chronic pain and anxiety 
  • Improved sleep and fatigue levels 
  • Enhanced mental health and quality of life over time 
  • A low rate of adverse side effects—with most being mild or manageable 

This study is one of the most comprehensive in Australia to date, offering valuable insights for doctors, patients, and policymakers. 

Why This Research Matters to the Australian Cannabis Industry 

Australia’s medicinal cannabis framework is still maturing. While patient access has grown—over 1 million TGA approvals since legalisation—many healthcare professionals remain hesitant, citing the lack of long-term clinical data. 

This new study fills that gap and highlights the real-world benefits of medicinal cannabis when prescribed appropriately and sourced from licensed, regulated producers. 

It also reinforces the need to: 

  • Invest in Australian cannabis research 
  • Improve medical education on cannabis therapies 
  • Ensure quality and consistency in every product prescribed 
  • Build confidence among prescribers and patients alike 

Safe and Legal Medicinal Cannabis: The Biortica Approach 

At Biortica, we are committed to delivering medicinal cannabis that meets the highest standards of safety, traceability, and consistency. We believe that long-term health outcomes depend on quality at every stage of the supply chain. 

Here’s how we make that happen: 

  • Full compliance with TGA and ODC regulations 
  • Clean, sustainable cultivation through Green Farmers 
  • Elite genetics from Apollo Green for cannabinoid stability and therapeutic value 
  • Batch-tested, pharmaceutical-grade products delivered to prescribers and pharmacies across Australia 

Our vertically integrated model ensures that what patients receive is not only safe and effective—but consistent and reliable every time. 

Looking Ahead: Building on the Evidence 

This new research marks an important milestone, but it’s only the beginning. As medicinal cannabis becomes more widely accepted in Australia, we must continue to build a foundation based on: 

  • Scientific evidence 
  • Regulatory excellence 
  • Patient trust 

Biortica is proud to be part of that future. We’re here to support licensed prescribers, educate patients, and grow the kind of cannabis Australia can rely on. 

A Healthier Future with Medicinal Cannabis 

The long-term health benefits of medicinal cannabis are no longer just anecdotal—they’re now measurable. With the right systems, safeguards, and partnerships in place, Australian patients can access reliable, legal treatment that improves their daily lives. 

At Biortica, we remain focused on delivering quality medicinal cannabis—grown with care, backed by science, and driven by purpose.
