Medicinal access via authorised prescriber. The ACT additionally allows adults to possess/grow small personal amounts, but sale and online purchase of non-prescribed cannabis remain illegal. Recreational purchase — online or in person — is not legal in Canberra. This guide covers the prescription pathway only.
Canberra is the exception worth explaining carefully: the ACT allows adults to possess up to 50g and grow up to two plants per person for personal use. That is not the same as legal purchase — there is no legal cannabis retail or delivery in the ACT, prescribed medicine aside.
For anyone actually wanting a reliable, lawful supply, the same telehealth-prescription-pharmacy pathway used nationally still applies in Canberra.
The ACT is the one jurisdiction where adults can legally possess and grow a small personal amount of cannabis without a prescription. This does not extend to buying, selling, or having it delivered — those remain illegal, and federal law still technically criminalises possession, creating an unusual legal overlap that's worth understanding properly rather than assuming.
