cannabis treatments should be considered for the treatment of chronic pain when 
opioid treatments have been unsuccessful. While medical cannabis treatments are 
new to Australian patients, medical cannabis products are showing significant

conclusive just yet, but there are patients that claim that using a medicinal cannabis 
product did aid with their nerve pain and chronic pain.
