Epileptic boy in hospital after taking away medicinal cannabis oil

london - A serious epileptic boy was admitted to a London hospital after the authorities seized the cannabis oil he used as a medicine. The case stirs up the discussion about the medical use of cannabis in Great Britain.

Twelve-year-old Billy Caldwell had traveled to Canada with his mother to collect cannabis oil after his doctor had been ordered to stop prescribing the oil. When they flew back to London, customs officials confiscated their supplies.

'Billy needs his seized anti-epileptic medication immediately,' said mother Charlotte Caldwell in a statement. She said that the epileptic seizures of her son, which can be fatal, have returned Tuesday after the drug was confiscated by customs. According to her, her son had no seizures when he used the cannabis oil.
