On the petition page they mention they went to Netherlands where the Dr's gave him Cannabis Oil (CBD oil) which improved his condition.
I just figured it's worth mentioning you can buy that over here in Holland & Barrett among other places, and the NHS are trialling it.
I would have thought he needs the THC in the oil which is still currently illegal in every form in this country.

I wasn't doubting you. I just don't know anything about it. My understanding is if you vape it that process destroys some of the THC. I thought maybe that was the bit Alfie needed, ergo; oil that was designed for vaping wasn't the same kind of stuff.
Holland and barrett amomg others sell a form of oil with the THC content removed or use plants like hemp which don't have it in, in the first place. Whilst these may have certain benefits to people who use them it's not the same thing for epilepsy it's thought the higher the THC content the better the oil for epilepsy. The problem is it's the THC content that makes cannibis illegal in most country's.
I would have thought he needs the THC in the oil which is still currently …I would have thought he needs the THC in the oil which is still currently illegal in every form in this country.
But, facts are facts, I've seen an almost identical case to this where a friends son with the most dreadful epilepsy was almost miraculously helped using this stuff.
Personally, I believe the appeal is OTT on emotions and 'life-saving' claims, but it's not entirely false, there's a lot of truth in it, and for that reason I'm going to sign it, but I do so in the hope that it doesn't open the floodgates.
These gates need to be forever strong with only the undoubted exception such as this little boy getting through.
Whilst Cannabis cannot be legally be proscribed to patients, Sativex a medicinal strength Cannabis-based drug can be proscribed to patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Also if the practitioners believe there is evidence that treatment using the drug would alieve or control the symptoms of other ailments or conditions including spasticity* (MS) or in this case Epileptic spasms or fits then it can be legally proscribed (under strict supervision). As with Cannabis, possession of the drug except under strict controls and circumstances is still illegal.
Therapeutic cannabis could be a new promising treatment for medication-resistant epileptic children, I do agree with this though aren't we jumping the gun here a bit.
Further controlled and/or larger randomized studies are required to confirm the results of recent studies into the treatment for medication-resistant epileptic children, as the lead author of the efficacy and safety of cannabidiol use in children and young adults with treatment-resistant epilepsy has explained.
It's also worth bearing in mind that heavy, long term exposure to marijuana may have biologically-based physical, mental, behavioral and social health consequences and may be associated with diseases of the liver (particularly with co-existing hepatitis C), lungs, heart, and vasculature. So therefore one would assume that the use of medicinal cannabis would need to be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional such as a GP as Sativex is (Sativex (also known by its generic name of Nabiximols) a specific extract of cannabis that was approved as a botanical drug in the United Kingdom in 2010 as a mouth spray to alleviate neuropathic pain, spasticity, overactive bladder, and other symptoms of multiple sclerosis).
I'm not assuming that the OP and the author of the petition are advocating the use of medicinal cannabis without the supervision of a GP by the way. It makes sense that this would have to be the case when prescribing this as it needs to be taken correctly, otherwise it will not work properly. Or even worse, it could result in adverse events if not taken correctly.
Therefore, a wider exploration of possible interactions and health implications is still required to adequately determine CBD’s safety profile.
CBD isn’t legalised cannabis - and the stuff from Holland and Barrett is not the same - people saying no to CBD because they think it’s cannabis are nothing more than robots spouting the nonsense and fear to things they don’t understand.
NO' why should a recreational gateway drug be legalised can you imagine the reaction times of people stoned in the workplace or on the roads. Imagine a lorry driver driving a 40ton truck stoned. Cannabis is a very dangerous drug I don't care what anybody says it simply is.
How ever I do believe in medical liquid form for things like epilepsy then yes it should be used under doctors supervision. American trials have proved time and time again of benefits. Anybody who refused to sign this because they simply seen the word cannabis is a moron and needs to understand medical advancements. I also hope they never go to the doctors to ask for any type of drug which would have a some point been trailed.
I know all about the process and the hurdles, the science, the dosage issues, production issues and production reliability
- but you try having a child that has 100 seizures a day that mean they cant develop and learn and you see in other countries what a positive effect this drug has on similar children and you tell me about jumping the gun.... of course right now it should be a last resort... but for those that are seizing without control waiting for their brains to be damaged beyond repair or a waiting for a seizure that will kill them - I’m not really that bothered about debates in the daily mail....
i dont think it should be encouraged for all children with seizures but there drugs still administered by NHS - phenobarbital for example..... that we know the horrific side effects.... but for those that haven’t responsed to the normal list of drugs/ketogenic diet - this should be tried - even if it’s a punt - would any parent really rather wait to see if their child dies or try a drug that tested In this country and other has shown good results???
Even if the petition is ultimately unsuccessful (most likely result imo) Surely there must be a way of importing what he needs, whether legally or illegally. I wouldn't like to be the judge who punishes the parents.

I completely agree with you and know where you are coming from its not right at all this is not available. I have a young child in my family who has uncontrollable epilepsy and have done my self extensive research into this. He has had brain surgery which only part worked insted of 100s of fits a day he now has maybe 10 or less. I fully believe with the backing of a doctor this should be available to try on the NHS some people it would work for maybe others it won't but that's luck of the draw with any meds. I believe they should be trying this even before brain surgery which is very costly and dangerous. The sooner the government approves it the better for medical science it makes sense.

My daughter is on the list for when this legalised and It could change her life
I honestly hope your daughter gets a chance I think last time i spoke to my family about this maybe 6 children a year get the chance is that still the same. My family member had brain surgery at GOSH and it only part worked. I hope maybe he might get a chance at this in the near future.
I totally sympathize with what some people are saying though others unfortunately think that any use of cannabis is okay because it's "natural". As you can see from what I've written in my previous post the term natural is very ambiguous. One of the reason why I've said there needs to be further studies. And it isn't just because the word cannabis is being used here, we have to consider other implications as well.
Therapeutic cannabis could be a new promising treatment for medication-resistant epileptic children, I do agree with this though for now I'm still of the opinion that we may be jumping the gun a bit. Though I must say in some sense maybe we are not now that I have thought about it, afterall there are also costs to consider as well, maybe where a petition might be handy.
Anyway, as I have mentioned, further controlled and/or larger randomized studies are required to confirm the results of recent studies.
Let's not forget, long term exposure to cannabis may have biologically-based physical, mental, behavioral and social health consequences and may be associated with other diseases. Afterall, we don't yet know how safe cannabidiols are.
You may not all be aware of the following either. As well as what I have already pointed out, one of the reasons why I've thought that maybe we don't actually need a petition.
GW Pharmaceuticals, which in 2010 launched the world’s first prescription cannabis-derived drug in the form of multiple sclerosis treatment Sativex as mentioned above, boosted cultivation and manufacturing of the crop last year ahead of the launch of another promising experimental drug called Epidiolex, which has shown to be hugely effective in treating children with a deadly form of epilepsy.
GW Pharmaceuticals, a British company, plans to file Epidiolex with US regulators, and approval could come as early this year.
May be what we should be doing instead, or as well as, is considering contacting our MP's about this.

Key words I used "under doctors supervision" like I said before it may work for some and not others but that's the same as every other medical drug on the market. Anyway regardless of what we think the government has now approved according to the artical I posted in my last comment. Good luck to the family I hope it works out for them.

Though from the article you have posted, it appears that this won't actually be provided by the NHS except in rare cases on compassionate grounds.
Of course this is got to do with cost. Yes, one of the biggest obstacle is cost unfortunately. Like with Orkambi, a drug for cystic fibrosis which costs £104,000 per patient for every year of treatment.
Analysts in the US also expect Epidiolex to cost $2,500 (£1,786) to $5,000 (£3,572) a month, which would be more expensive than some of the medical marijuana products, which cost from about $100 (£71) to more than $1,000 (£714) per month.
Professor Carole Longson, director of the Nice centre for health technology evaluation, said: 'We know how important a new treatment option would be for people with cystic fibrosis; but for the benefits it offers, the cost of Orkambi is too high.
'We can only recommend treatments when we are certain they are both clinically effective and represent good value for money.
'If the company is able to put forward a proposal that provides Orkambi at a cost-effective price, we would welcome it.'
What is needed to solve this is a compulsory licence clause that cuts the cost of drugs similar to what India has. And of course our government should also attempt to close any loopholes.
To ensure we have affordable access, countries like ours should grant a compulsory licence clause that cuts the cost of drugs by allowing another company to manufacture the therapy, even though it is still under patent. Or something similar. This would and should hopefully reduced the price of drugs like Orkambi and Epidiolex.
In India this has slashed the price of Nexavar, used as a treatment for liver cancer, by an astounding 97%. The price of this drug is around £3,000 per month, which drug regulators say is "simply too high" to justify making it available on the NHS.
Why are drugs so expensive? As mentioned in the Telegraph article I posted above if you haven't already read it.
Rules that were intended to encourage drug companies to research and develop new medicines for rare diseases are being misused.
Instead of developing new drugs they are obtaining licenses for existing ones and hiking up the price by up to 700%.
And because of this some NHS hospitals are now refusing to fund drugs that were previously available cheaply while the NHS faces paying millions of pounds extra a year for the same, or very similar, medicines.
Doctors have also provided several examples of price hikes, including a drug to treat rare muscle diseases which used to cost £800 to £1,000 per patient per year.
After obtaining a licence and slightly modifying the drug, the drug company now charges £40,000 to £70,000 per patient per year...........

It's a bloody nightmare at work with all the people boozed up. Don't get me started about the terror of British roads with drunk lorry drivers regularly mounting the kerb, hitting innocent children on their way to school.
Cannabis is less dangerous than alcohol. There's also very little proof that it is a "gateway drug". Legalise it, and you do away with all the hand wringing over what is legal, and what isn't.

There's also very little proof that it is a "gateway drug". Legalise it, and you do away with all the hand wringing over what is legal, and what isn't.
Another alternative to the gateway hypothesis is the common liability to addiction theory. It states that some individuals are, for various reasons, willing to try multiple recreational substances. The "gateway" drugs are merely those that are (usually) available at an earlier age than the harder drugs.
It's also worth bearing in mind, scientists have been researching the effects of alcohol for decades, the science of cannabis is a lot murkier because of its mostly illegal status.
Research published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that, when adjusting for other factors, having a detectable amount of THC (the main psychoactive ingredient in cannabis) in your blood did not increase the risk of being involved in a car crash. Having a blood-alcohol level of at least 0.05%, on the other hand, increased that risk by 575%.
Combining the two however appears to have the worst results. So be careful not to drink while smoking, and vice versa.
However, both drugs are linked with an increased risk of psychiatric disease. For cannabis users, psychosis and schizophrenia are the main concern; with alcohol, it's depression and anxiety.
Government's will obviously want to factor in cost to society as well. Maybe one of the main reasons why governments are reluctant to legalise it when you consider the evidence.
Mental illness is already estimated to cost the UK economy as much as £100bn a year in terms of healthcare, lost jobs, unemployment benefits, homelessness support, police time and prisoner places.
Mental health problems in the UK workforce alone cost employers almost £35bn (figure for 2016), up from £26bn ten years prior to the published figure, according to research published by the Centre for Mental Health.
The above figures are factored in in terms of inflation and a rise in the size of the workforce since 2007.
Always someone to pull the alcohol vs cannabis debate. Yes alcohol is dangerous if driving no debate about it so no point in going there. But so is cannabis people who are stoned have the reaction times of a slug and just smile like life don't matter. People who are stoned behind the wheel or in the work place like on a building site should be prosecuted or saked. I can't not stand working with stoned people who can not do simple things when stoned the same as I can not stand working with some idiot who thought it good to go pub at lunchtime.

When it comes to addiction profiles and risk of death or overdose combined with ties to cancer, car crashes, violence, and even obesity, the research suggests that marijuana may be less of a health risk than alcohol.
"Obesity!?", I hear you say. Yes, cannabis as you know gives you the munchies. It makes you hungry, reduces the natural signals of fullness, and may even temporarily make food taste better.
Alcohol, on the other hand, as you know, is linked with weight gain. A can of beer has roughly 150 calories, and a glass of wine has about 120.
But despite eating the extra calorie intake when smoking, marijuana users generally don't have higher body-mass indexes. In fact, studies suggest that regular smokers have a slightly reduced risk of obesity.
I think we also have to be cautious when we say legalise it as the issues surrounding cannabis are very complexed. After all heavy, long term exposure to marijuana may have biologically-based physical, mental, behavioral and social health consequences. All of these issues have to be taken into consideration when deciding whether or not to legalise it.

And cashback I have been waiting for months they say 60 days but you might never see it. They used to be great now they are just liars.
( 12m 13s ) Lara: I'm sorry that's not how bonuses work, you opt into the bonus and then they track into your account, and the depending on whether or not you make a qualifying purchase, they will confirm or decline
( 15m 41s ) Lara: I can't say when it will be confirmed as it's not us that confirm or decline things but the retailer
( 17m 14s ) Richard: "Good news! Your claim has been approved and we’re just waiting for the payment to arrive within the next 60 days so that we can confirm this for you."
( 19m 30s ) Lara: I'm very sorry, but until we receive the cashback from stoneisland, we can't pass it to you
( 19m 36s ) Richard: So just to clarify the last status update I received was 17 october - I would expect confirmed status by 17 december
( 21m 17s ) Lara: I'm sorry I can't push this forward, all I can say is that our payments team will be chasing the retailer on a weekly basis, as they do with delayed transactions. At the moment though we're yet to receive the cashback from the retailer
( 23m 19s ) Lara: I'm sorry I can't control when retailers will pay, 60 days is the norm, but they can take longer
( 24m 4s ) Richard: OK so when is the latest I will receive £6.30 from stone island and £4.55 from hoppa
( 24m 41s ) Lara: I'm sorry I can't provide you with a definite timeline, as we're reliant on them passing the cashback to us, and I can't say for certain when Hoppa or StoneIsland will pay us
( 26m 43s ) Lara: It does state this in the terms and conditions, in order to minimise our members disappointment when things go wrong
( 27m 6s ) Lara: we always like to be up front that cashback can be delayed and is never guaranteed.
Been waiting 17 months for 59p from superdrug, not too fussed on 59p but i just wanted to see what they said. Emailed them & they replied ‘sorry this is taking long, we have a payment team chasing payments blah blah blah’

Just because something tracks doesn’t mean you have bought it, if it did I would be owed a fortune, saying that they have paid out a fortune over the years for items I never paid for.
Hate to be realistic but "cashback should never be relied upon " - so many various reasons that it can be declined even when tracked . Having said that I find TCB more reliable than Quidco for actually obtaining the cashback .

In the activity the last status at 17 october "Good news! Your claim has been approved and we’re just waiting for the payment to arrive within the next 60 days so that we can confirm this for you.".
They had better change that to "Good news! Your claim has been approved and when the retailer feels like paying, if at all. we might pay you. But until then we won't chase the retailer at all nor pay from our own pocket like TopCashback does. So enjoy the long wait for potentially nothing. Cheers."
Everytime a put a claim in with Quidco it gets declined but the same retailer and it goes through with Topcashback?
I spent over a hundred pound with Argos for the £10 bonus they offered and it doesn't track and my claim was then declined, I don't even bother with them at all anymore.

With you on this. I never had any issues with TCB and when I once did they paid out of their own pocket so I didn't lose out. . Think I am upto 2k with quidco / premium member but they couldn't care less.
I was on my first year with quidco i realised they were a con when they declined my £100 Three cashback then i spoke to them and then I'm offered the £100
Ah i get it now. Since quidco moved over to the new company as this …Ah i get it now. Since quidco moved over to the new company as this company they have changed alot. I have 4 bonuses tracked and i always check if i have been payed altho i didn't make a purchase I was on my first year with quidco i realised they were a con when they declined my £100 Three cashback then i spoke to them and then I'm offered the £100 We are now addicted to this app and cashbacks
Yeah I prefer cheap prices or discount codes not all this nonsense. If cashback is this much of a gamble why isn't it regulated by the gaming commission like bookies, casinos and all other rackets?
Typical of a chat that! They are a disgrace! They use to be great and …Typical of a chat that! They are a disgrace! They use to be great and customer services was A*. Now they wont pay out on anything. Been waiting 17 months for 59p from superdrug, not too fussed on 59p but i just wanted to see what they said. Emailed them & they replied ‘sorry this is taking long, we have a payment team chasing payments blah blah blah’ How long do they expect me to wait?!...and according to twitter they have just won the award for the best cashback site. OMG
I've got the same with pizza hut, been waiting nearly two years now and still get the same reply from them
Think I am upto 2k with quidco / premium member but they couldn't care …Think I am upto 2k with quidco / premium member but they couldn't care less.
These bonus deals always fail to track for me, funny how other purchases track without a problem. I’ve given up accepting them as it’s better to get something rather than nothing.
At least you get 50p if you lose and if you win, the lot back. only had one win though in 15 transactions....
Quidco seems to not give a hoot anymore and this has take far too long to confirm. Not like they used to be.
I think the last year 2 years has really deteriorated, service is bad now too. So I use TCB now in future.
Keep chasing them. I have success using support via twitter. I make my own records as I wont remember what I did last week let alone in 4 months. What the rate was. This changes quite often and chances are you wont get it tracked at that rate.
Personally, I have had just 1 decline with Quidco over 16p GoGroupie cashback. Gogroupie lied that I had
I just made a £43 order with NHL International Shop only for it to be tracked as a £28 with Wimbledon Shop. Work that one out!
"Unfortunately your cashback has been declined. We're sorry to tell you that this retailer does not accept cashback claims, so we're unable to investigate this further for you."
Funny that as they were with Boots and Argos, both are still advertised prominently on the quidco site so yeah I would say the title of this discussion is bang on.
The major issue is that no one except Quidco (or any other cashback business - and it is a business don't forget) knows when or if a retailer pays them the cashback. Or if, when they do, they actually pay it back.
How easy it is to say 'we haven't had the cash from the retailer' # Kching or 'sorry your cashback has been declined' #K'ching, when the money is in the bank! Hear those tills ring.....
I've noticed a decline in service as well. I could have sworn quidco were miles better than topcashback a few years ago. Tcb rates are generally better than quidcos but quidcos customer service was better. I have bonuses from November which are still to be confirmed never mind reaching payment.
I'd stick to topcashback for now. Paid out £40 carphone warehouse within a month of purchasing can't fault them.
You got his number?! Wouldn't surprise me if he was an investor in …You got his number?! Wouldn't surprise me if he was an investor in them!
I recently got paid out £85 for some business insurance I took out with AXA. It does take a while to pay out but i've noticed regularly chasing them up (callbacks, messaging) helps a lot.
To be fair I've just checked my Quidco account and it has tracked then declined multiple bonus offers that I've opted into and then not used. The one's that I've used are still tracked as the cashback from the purchase hasn't come through yet (three months later...).
I think they really declined because you wrote “must of” instead of “must have”. It’s discrimination against the grammatically challenged and it’s disgusting.
Keep chasing them. I have success using support via twitter. I make my own …Keep chasing them. I have success using support via twitter.

Gogroupie lied that I had cancelled my order when I didn't.
You mean Quidco claimed Gogroupie said you cancelled the order!! I bet if you speak to Gogroupie they will say something different!
Just put a review in on trustpilot liars and cheating scumbags. Have 4x £2.50 bonuses been waiting months, tracked immediately. Now one declined. Theiving lying scumbags!!
You mean Quidco claimed Gogroupie said you cancelled the order!! I bet if …You mean Quidco claimed Gogroupie said you cancelled the order!! I bet if you speak to Gogroupie they will say something different!
