The licence that makes compliant supply possible
What the NSW Wholesale Poisons Licence authorises
Green Leaf Global Imports Pty Ltd holds a NSW Wholesale Poisons Licence covering both Schedule 4 and Schedule 8 substances under the Poisons and Therapeutic Goods Act 1966 (NSW). This licence authorises us to supply medicinal cannabis products — including Schedule 8 controlled drugs — to a defined class of authorised recipients. It is not a retail or dispensing authority; it is a wholesale authority, governing B2B supply from licenced premises to other appropriately credentialled entities. Every transaction we execute occurs within the framework this licence establishes, with the NSW Ministry of Health as the governing authority and the TGA as the overarching federal regulator under the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989.
Who GLG supplies
Our wholesale customer base is restricted to entities with the appropriate regulatory standing to receive Schedule 8 controlled substances. That includes registered dispensing pharmacies, TGA-authorised prescribers operating under the Authorised Prescriber (AP) pathway, clinicians accessing products via SAS-B (Special Access Scheme — Category B), telehealth providers with an established prescribing and dispensing workflow, and multi-site clinic networks with centralised pharmacy operations. We do not supply to the general public, and we do not fulfil retail or direct-to-patient orders. All prospective accounts undergo licence and credential verification before supply commences.
What a wholesale account with GLG includes
Opening a wholesale account with GLG provides access to our current formulary of TGA-compliant, GMP-sourced, ODC-permitted medicinal cannabis products. Account holders receive batch-specific Certificates of Analysis (COAs) with every order, full Schedule 8 documentation including DDA-register-ready paperwork, and direct access to our account management team for formulary queries, lead-time confirmation, and regulatory support. We maintain transparent stock availability windows so pharmacies can plan dispensing schedules without uncertainty. We also provide import documentation on request, including ODC permit details and country-of-origin GMP certification, for pharmacies that maintain their own supplier audit files.
Schedule 8 compliance at every step
Schedule 8 medicinal cannabis is classified as a drug of addiction under federal and state law. Every movement of stock — from licenced storage to delivery to the receiving pharmacy — must be traceable, documented and authorised. GLG maintains a Dangerous Drugs (DDA) register for all Schedule 8 holdings, with batch-level reconciliation at each transfer point. Our chain-of-custody documentation is prepared per order and is designed to satisfy NSW Ministry of Health inspection requirements without modification. For further detail on the regulatory framework governing our operations, see our compliance page.
Our storage and logistics partners
Physical storage of Schedule 8 stock is managed by BLS Wholesale Manufacturing (BLSWM), our licenced manufacturing and storage partner operating under a current agreement. BLSWM holds the appropriate ODC and state authority to store Schedule 8 controlled substances. Last-mile distribution is handled by Peddler Distribution, our 3PL partner, under a cold-chain-compliant logistics framework with temperature monitoring and signed chain-of-custody at every handover. This separation of roles — licenced holder, licenced storer, credentialled distributor — reflects best practice for Schedule 8 supply chain integrity and reduces concentration risk at any single node.
Why pharmacies choose GLG
Dispensing pharmacies operating in the medicinal cannabis space face disproportionate administrative burden relative to the volume of product they dispense. COA discrepancies, permit mismatches and incomplete DDA paperwork create compliance exposure that falls on the pharmacist. GLG builds its wholesale offer around documentation quality: every order ships with a complete, pre-checked documentation package. Lead times are quoted against confirmed stock positions, not forecast arrivals. Our account team is available to assist with product-specific regulatory queries, and we maintain direct relationships with the ODC and TGA to resolve permit or classification questions quickly. Pharmacies looking to diversify their supplier base or improve documentation reliability consistently cite these factors as the primary reason for switching to GLG.
