Hi Freddy,

THC and CBD oil are available in Australia now. I get 2 bottles of 30 mls prescribed by my GP. Go to the pharmacy, ask the pharmacist if they know a doctor that will prescribe for you.   $78 for THC and $90 for CBT oil......

Good luck.....I threw out my oxy, Endone and Fentanyl and only use the oil, it's marvelous, I sleep like a baby. ☺️❤️

Hi Freddy, I think your cancer nurse should be able to get them through the hospital...or have you tried to buy them online? Best wishes, Carol ☺️

They gave me boxes of them a month or so into treatment.  I think they only give them out to people with feeding tubes.  They do come with a straw though so they must be for drinking too......and they are yummy.   Have no idea where to get them,  that was the first time and last time I ever saw or heard of them.   I have a feeling nestles make them for hospital use only.  That's like the pink lady oral solution.  The gave me scripts for it but the only place I could fill them was the hospital chemist.

Hi @Freddy123,

Ask your onc or GP for a referral to a dietitian. They can then prescribe you some nutritional drinks.
