Mother of girl with epilepsy has supply of medical cannabis confiscated | Society | The Guardian
Campaigner Emma Appleby was stopped with £4,500 worth of cannabis oil for her daughter
The mother of a nine-year-old girl with severe epilepsy wept as she had an illegal supply of medical cannabis confiscated by customs officials after entering the UK with the potentially life-saving medication that her daughter cannot access, despite changes in the law.
Campaigner Emma Appleby flew to the UK from Holland on Saturday morning carrying three months’ worth of cannabis oil, valued at £4,500, for her daughter Teagan, who has a rare chromosomal disorder as well as Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, which causes up to 300 seizures a day.
============================================
Medical cannabis may now be legal in the U.K. but smuggling any form of Cannabis into the U.K. is still against the law.

CBD is listed as an 'adjuvant drug.'
