THE Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has issued six infringement notices totalling $118,800, to Dispensed Pty Ltd for the alleged unlawful advertising of medicinal cannabis.

The company has also been directed to cease the alleged unlawful advertising of prescription-only medicinal cannabis to the public on third-party websites and social media platforms.

The advertising included indirect references to medicinal cannabis, using terms such as ‘plant medicine’ and ‘cannabinoid-based therapies’, which are not permitted under the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989.

Dispensed must also recover any printed advertising material still in circulation, such as fliers and posters.
