Little Green Pharma is one of Australia's listed medical cannabis companies — not a shop, not an online store, and not a place where the public orders CBD oil directly. It is an ASX-listed manufacturer (ASX:LGP) that makes prescription medical cannabis products under a Therapeutic Goods Administration manufacturing licence and supplies them through the prescription chain. For Australians looking to buy CBD oil over the counter without a consultation, the two routes are completely separate: CBD Oil Australia is an online shop delivering hemp-derived CBD oil to customers across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and the rest of Australia.
This review is independent. CBD Oil Australia is a separate Australian online shop that sells its own range of over-the-counter CBD oil — it is not Little Green Pharma, not affiliated with it, and does not operate in the prescription supply chain. Little Green Pharma's company background and products are covered on its official site.
Little Green Pharma: the corporate picture
Little Green Pharma is a Perth-based, ASX-listed company that entered the Australian medical cannabis industry among the first wave of licensed producers following legalisation. It is vertically integrated: it cultivates cannabis plants, processes them under GMP conditions into medical-grade oils and flower, and supplies finished products through the prescription pathway. It also maintained a GMP manufacturing facility in Denmark serving European markets, which gave it an international production footprint alongside its Australian operations.
In June 2026, Little Green Pharma completed a merger with Cannatrek — another ASX-listed Australian medical cannabis business — to form a combined group. The merged entity is one of the more significant domestic producers operating in the licensed TGA supply chain. Neither company is a consumer-facing shop; both operate as manufacturers and wholesalers within the regulated prescription system.
Where Little Green Pharma sits in the Australian framework
Prescription medical cannabis in Australia sits under the Therapeutic Goods Administration's scheme for unapproved therapeutic goods. A doctor assesses the patient, determines whether medical cannabis is appropriate, and prescribes a specific product. That product — which can include THC in quantities far above what is permitted in over-the-counter oils — is manufactured by a licensed producer like Little Green Pharma and dispensed through the prescription pathway.
Over-the-counter CBD oil is a different category with a different regulatory basis. The TGA down-scheduled low-dose cannabidiol in 2021, making it available as a pharmacist-only medicine, and hemp-derived CBD oil is also available online as a product you purchase by spectrum, milligrams and carrier oil — no consultation required. The two routes operate in parallel and under different rules. Neither replaces the other.
Understanding that separation is what makes any comparison meaningful: Little Green Pharma is a manufacturer in the Rx chain; CBD Oil Australia is a shop in the OTC chain. They answer different questions for different buyers.
The over-the-counter option for Australian buyers
If you're looking for CBD oil that you can buy directly — no prescription, no clinic, no medical assessment — CBD Oil Australia is an Australian online shop delivering across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and the rest of Australia. The range is described entirely by composition:
- Full-spectrum CBD oil — whole-hemp extract with a legal trace of THC (under 0.3%), preserving the full cannabinoid profile.
- Broad-spectrum CBD oil — whole-hemp extract with THC removed entirely; 0% THC.
- CBG oil — cannabigerol isolate, a single-cannabinoid oil distinct from cannabidiol.
- CBN oil — cannabinol isolate, THC-free.
- Pet CBD oil — a formulation for animals, not for human use.
Every oil is a hemp extract in a coconut-derived MCT carrier, in a 50ml bottle, third-party lab-tested by batch with a Certificate of Analysis available on request. Imported from EU Labs in Amsterdam; dispatched within Australia. Prices start from $89.95 AUD. See the full range and current prices.
From our CBD oil range
Full-Spectrum CBD Oil 1000mg
Whole-plant hemp extract that keeps cannabidiol with the minor cannabinoids and terpenes from the same press. 1000mg in a 50ml MCT bottle — 20mg per ml — with a legal trace of THC held under 0.3%.
CBN Oil 6000mg – Cannabinol
Cannabinol, the cannabinoid that develops as hemp ages, presented as a THC-free isolate. 6000mg of CBN in a 50ml MCT bottle, 120mg per ml — a common evening-routine choice.
CBG Oil 12000mg – Cannabigerol
Our strongest cannabigerol oil. CBG is the compound the hemp plant builds the other cannabinoids from, and it is less abundant than CBD. 12000mg of CBG in a 50ml MCT bottle, 240mg per ml.
Comparing the routes: what actually differs
The question "what's the difference between Little Green Pharma and CBD Oil Australia?" is really a question about which route applies:
| Little Green Pharma | CBD Oil Australia | |
|---|---|---|
| Type | ASX-listed licensed producer | Online OTC shop |
| Route to product | Doctor assessment → prescription → dispensary | Add to cart → checkout |
| Oversight | Medical — doctor-prescribed | Buyer-directed purchase |
| THC content | Varies — can be high under Rx | 0% to under 0.3% (OTC legal limits) |
| Access | Through healthcare provider only | Direct, no consultation |
| Starting price | Depends on Rx, dispensary, insurance | From $89.95 AUD |
Neither is "better" — they are different products for different needs. If you want medical assessment and Rx products, Little Green Pharma's manufacturers supply that chain. If you want hemp-derived CBD oil over the counter, CBD Oil Australia ships across Australia.
What to check on any over-the-counter CBD oil
This checklist applies whether you're looking at CBD Oil Australia or any other Australian OTC option:
- Spectrum — full-spectrum (trace THC under 0.3%), broad-spectrum (THC removed to 0%) or isolate (CBD only). A composition choice, not a quality ranking.
- Milligrams — total cannabinoid in the bottle; divide by volume for a per-millilitre comparison.
- Carrier oil — what the extract is dissolved in (ours: coconut-derived MCT).
- THC level — stated plainly and confirmed by the Certificate of Analysis.
- Third-party lab test — by batch, with a COA you can request, not just a generic reference to "tested".

Common questions
Can I buy directly from Little Green Pharma? No. It's a licensed manufacturer and producer; its products reach patients through the prescription pathway via a doctor, not through a public online checkout.
Does Little Green Pharma sell over-the-counter CBD oil? No. It produces prescription medical cannabis. Over-the-counter cannabidiol is a separate category it doesn't operate in.
What happened to Little Green Pharma? In June 2026, Little Green Pharma merged with Cannatrek to form a combined Australian medical cannabis producer group. The combined entity continues operating as a licensed manufacturer in the Rx supply chain.
Do I need a prescription for over-the-counter CBD oil? Not for OTC hemp-derived CBD oil from a shop like CBD Oil Australia. The OTC and prescription frameworks are separate.
Is over-the-counter CBD oil legal in Australia? Yes, within the national framework set by the TGA. Low-dose cannabidiol is classified as a pharmacist-only medicine; hemp-derived CBD oil is sold online within those limits. The details are on the TGA website.
Where do I buy over-the-counter CBD oil across Australia? Online, from a domestic shop like CBD Oil Australia — the full range ships across Australia and Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide.
If what you need is a medical assessment and access to the prescription route, Little Green Pharma's products are supplied through that pathway.
