Cannatrek is an Australian medical cannabis producer and distributor — all of its products are prescription-only, accessed through the TGA Special Access Scheme. In 2026 it completed a merger with Little Green Pharma to form the LGP Cannatrek Group, one of Australia's larger integrated medical cannabis businesses. FraLa CBD is a separate online shop based in Byron Bay, NSW — no clinic, no prescription required. We sell over-the-counter CBD oil sourced from EU Labs and ship it tracked to buyers across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Byron Bay and all of Australia.

Cannatrek: an early mover in Australian medical cannabis
Cannatrek holds a notable position in Australian medical cannabis history. It received one of the country's earliest research cultivation licences in Victoria in 2017, at a time when Australia's regulatory framework for medical cannabis was still taking shape. The Office of Drug Control (ODC), operating under the Narcotic Drugs Act 1967, issues these cultivation and manufacture licences — and Cannatrek was among the first cohort to obtain one.
From that starting point, the company built a vertically integrated business: cultivation of cannabis plant material, manufacturing into finished products, and supply through authorised dispensing channels. That kind of end-to-end operation is relatively uncommon in the Australian medical cannabis sector, where many producers focus on one or two steps in the chain.
The product catalogue covers the main formats prescribed in Australia's medical cannabis access pathways: oils, capsules, tinctures, and dried flower. These span both THC-dominant and CBD-dominant product lines, at varying ratios and strengths, for patients whose prescribing doctors determine a cannabis medicine is appropriate. None of these products are available without a valid prescription — they are Schedule 4 (prescription-only) under the Poisons Standard.
For context on how Australia's scheduling system defines the difference between prescription and over-the-counter CBD products, the Australian CBD oil legal framework guide covers the framework in plain language.
How Cannatrek products are accessed: the TGA prescription pathway
Cannatrek's entire product range is dispensed through the TGA's controlled access pathways. There are two main routes: the Special Access Scheme (SAS) and the Authorised Prescriber (AP) scheme.
Under the SAS pathway, a patient raises medical cannabis with their GP or specialist. The practitioner assesses the situation and, if appropriate, makes an application to the TGA for that specific patient. If the TGA approves, the practitioner prescribes the product and it is dispensed through an authorised pharmacy. The TGA website maintains the full guidance for both pathways.
The Authorised Prescriber route is a standing approval — certain doctors obtain TGA permission to prescribe specified unapproved therapeutic goods to a class of patients without submitting a new application each time. Either way, there is no public checkout for Cannatrek products; the clinical pathway is the only way in.
If you are exploring how to navigate the Rx pathway — telehealth clinics, what to ask a GP, what a SAS application involves — the guide to getting medical cannabis in Australia covers that in full.
The Chemist Warehouse arrangement: dispensing, not retail
One of the more commonly misunderstood facts about Cannatrek is its relationship with Chemist Warehouse. Cannatrek established an exclusive supply and equity arrangement with Chemist Warehouse, giving CW pharmacies a role as dispensing points for Cannatrek products. It is a notable arrangement — Chemist Warehouse is the largest pharmacy chain in Australia.
However, this does not mean you can walk into a Chemist Warehouse and buy Cannatrek CBD oil off the shelf. The SAS prescription pathway applies regardless of which pharmacy dispenses the product. A patient still needs a valid prescription from a healthcare practitioner; a Chemist Warehouse pharmacist then fills it. The pharmacy is the dispensing channel; the clinical process that precedes it is unchanged.
This is worth stating clearly because "available at Chemist Warehouse" can read as ordinary retail availability. It is not. The prescription-only classification means the product does not leave the pharmacy without a script. The CBD oil laws guide explains Schedule 3 (pharmacist-only, low-dose OTC) versus Schedule 4 (prescription) in detail.
The 2026 merger: Cannatrek joins Little Green Pharma
The most significant recent development for Cannatrek was its 2026 merger with Little Green Pharma (LGP), an ASX-listed Australian medical cannabis producer. The two companies announced the scheme of arrangement in January 2026, the Federal Court of Australia approved the merger on 25 May 2026, and the combined entity became effective in June 2026.
The deal structure: LGP acquired 100% of Cannatrek via a scheme of arrangement valued at approximately AUD $85.1 million. After the scheme completed, Cannatrek shareholders held approximately 60.5% of the combined group's fully diluted capital, with existing LGP shareholders at 39.5%. The combined entity now operates as the LGP Cannatrek Group.
The merger brought together two established Australian medical cannabis producers with complementary assets. The combined group projects pro-forma revenue of approximately A$112.3 million and includes vertically integrated operations across cultivation, EU-GMP recognised and AU-GMP certified manufacturing, distribution, digital health platforms, and export to Europe. For an overview of the broader landscape of Australian medical cannabis producers, the Cann Group review covers another ASX-listed producer operating in a similar space.

Cannatrek's regulatory record: TGA infringement notices
A factual review of Cannatrek should note its TGA regulatory history. The TGA issued 22 infringement notices totalling $293,040 to Cannatrek for alleged unlawful advertising of prescription medicinal cannabis products. The regulator's concern related to promotion of unapproved Rx goods — including alleged references to treatment of serious conditions — on Cannatrek's websites and social media platforms.
These notices are a matter of public record, published on the TGA website. They do not invalidate Cannatrek as a licensed producer, but they are relevant context for anyone researching the brand. Australia's rules on advertising medicinal cannabis — particularly prescription-only products — are strict, and the infringement notices reflect an alleged breach of those rules.
FraLa CBD does not make health claims about its products. This applies equally to any review we write: we describe what a product contains, not what it does.
