In my experience with people who have been prescribed cannabis according to this metric common side effects are acute intoxication and worsening of existing mental health issues. Uncommon side effects are diarrhoea, nausea/vomiting, abdominal pain. Rare is psychosis, I’ve seen it once in maybe 200 patients but it’s probably not 0.5%.

We really need to define the risks if we’re going to prescribe cannabis at these volumes. Hence the call for TGA to investigate.
