as if this government can't get any worse: Long story short, this young boy has incredibly bad epilepsy and dozens of seizures every day. Cannabis oil completely stops them.
His cannabis oil got confiscated at the UK border. The Northern Irish GP that used to prescribe it got told by the HO office to stop doing so. The same HO does not want to make an exception for this one family who have been campaigning in the public eye for years (instead of just getting this under the table which is what most people do) but they want to ensure other families can get access to cannabis oil for medical reasons.
Then the government minister that deals with drug policy does not want to meet the family and her husband grows cannabis legally...this is being used for medication made by a drug firm.
All because one oil he needs has a little bit of THC in it. [some people need the THC...]
