We do not diagnose medical conditions. We do not advise patients on whether medicinal cannabis is appropriate for their circumstances. We do not recommend specific products, doses, or treatment regimens.

3. No Therapeutic Claims
Aho Farms makes no therapeutic claims about its products. We do not claim that our products treat, cure, prevent, or manage any medical condition or disease.
Where this website or our materials reference medical conditions, such as chronic pain, sleep disorders, nausea, spasticity, or anxiety, these references are factual statements about conditions for which medicinal cannabis is commonly prescribed by clinicians in New Zealand, based on published prescribing data and clinical guidance. Such references are informational and contextual only.
They do not constitute a representation that any Aho Farms product is approved, indicated, or proven effective for any condition. Prescribers should form their own clinical judgement based on the current evidence base, individual patient circumstances, and applicable clinical guidelines.
