Alternative therapies

Hello aviators
im posting here as I’m Australian and a pilot for a airline.
I’ve had relatively minor mental health issues, depression, anxiety, insomnia. Annoying but not debilitating. I’ve been on medications etc but it’s been suggested and I’ve not been keen that “Alternative therapies” may help. Primarily medicinal Cannabis is becoming more common.
Now firstly it would be doctor prescribed but I’m not sure the value of the “Doctor” let’s be honest.
Secondly, there is no way I’d be entering a discussion witb CaSA about this.
legitimate prescription medicinal cannabis is my understanding THC removed.
Any thoughts on how that would go on a random drug test. Don’t want to find that one out the hard way.
Has anybody ‘dabbled’ in the alternative therapies and found success.
I’ve been reading some very interesting stuff about psycadelics but that’s not available in Australia. Not to mention the testing dilemmas.
Appreciate honest helpful answers
